News about Simon Adingra

KIERAN GILL AT THE AMEX STADIUM: If Aston Villa want to beat Wolves in the Premier League this weekend, they need only shoot whenever 25 yards within goal. Right now, it must feel as if they're all flying in to Gary O'Neil after this Carabao Cup exit. Following on from the two screamers conceded to Newcastle, Brighton twice struck from outside of the box at the Amex Stadium, one of those seeing Carlos Baleba grab his first-ever goal and the other coming from Simon Adingra amid dire defending from the visitors. Wolves pushed until the end of this tie, but a third goal from Ferdi Kadioglu made sure of the Seagulls' safe passage into the fourth round.

Joao Pedro waited. Brighton's Brazilian attacker had somehow evaded the attention of nine Manchester United defenders inside their own box. All eyes were firmly fixed on Simon Adingra, who had the ball at his feet on the other side of the penalty area. Diogo Dalot stood off and Adingra cut inside, before floating a cross to the far post. This was now Pedro's time and the forward, still unnoticed and in acres of space, powered home his header to send the Amex Stadium into delirium and condemn United to yet another damaging defeat on the road.

CHRIS WHEELER AT THE AMEX STADIUM: Win with a late goal, lose to a late goal. One step forward, one step back. It was a trait of Erik ten Hag's turbulent second season at Manchester United, and the worrying trend has continued at the start of the new campaign. Look at the changes at Old Trafford under Ineos - to the leadership team, in the dugout and on the pitch - and it's impossible not to see progress. There is an optimism at United that extends beyond the perennial hope raised by new seasons and new signings. But old habits die hard, it seems, and Ten Hag needs to get a grip of his team before any early teething problems escalate into something altogether more serious.

CHRIS WHEELER: Antony put in the flimsiest of tackles on Simon Adingra and Yasin Ayari played the ball back to the Brighton winger. Mazraoui, Diogo Dalot and Kobbie Mainoo were all drawn to Adingra but couldn't stop him clipping a lovely cross to the back post where Joao Pedro and Julio Enciso had enough time to play a game of rock, paper, scissors to decide who converted it. The Brazilian never looked like missing with a downward header.

BRIGHTON 2-1 MANCHESTER UNITED - SAMI MOKBEL AT THE AMEX STADIUM: Cue inquest No 1 in Manchester United's season. You get the impression it won't be the last. There was almost an air of inevitability about it all when Joao Pedro slammed home a header in the 95th minute as Brighton maintained their perfect start to the season. Hope springs eternal at this part of the season. Fans believe things can be different; that their team's faults have been rectified and ironed out.

JOE BERNSTEIN AT GOODISON PARK: The Premier League's youngest manager Fabian Hurzeler celebrated a convincing winning start to his Brighton career with goals from Kaoru Mitoma, Danny Welbeck and Simon Adingra against a thoroughly demoralised Everton. For the Merseysiders, defeat represented an awful opening day to their final season at Goodison Park and it was compounded by a red card at 2-0 for defender Ashley Young, who at 39 is eight years older than the triumphant Seagulls boss. There were boos around the ground from Evertonians at full-time. Mitoma, playing his first game since February because of a back injury, opened the scoring midway through the first half with Welbeck adding a second early in the second half. Adingra wrapped up the points late on.

A lucky Premier League punter couldn't believe their chances when they cashed in over £31,000 after wagering just £42 on seven different goalscorers with a final day of the season bet. The optimistic punt required Phil Foden, Harvey Barnes, Jean-Philippe Mateta, Alexis Mac Allister, Dejan Kulusevski, Gabriel Martinelli and Simon Adingra to score first in their respective games.

Brentford will host Brighton on Wednesday night, taking a major step closer to Premier League safety. With a grueling fixture schedule against top sides coming up, the visitors know that a victory against a weaker opposition on paper is going to help them lift their European hopes. The Bees are expected to win at home, with odds of 7/4 likely to back the Seagulls for a victory. A draw is worth 13/5.

Brighton will have to have one of the best comebacks in history tonight if they want to keep their Europa League dream alive. Last week, Roberto De Zerbi's team was humiliated 4-0 in the first leg of their round of 16 matches, and as a result, they face an almost impossible challenge at home. That is evident in the betting lines, with the Seagulls winning the tie by a wide 16/1 margin, while the visitors 1/100 to secure their place in the quarter-finals.

For tonight's fifth round FA Cup match between Wolves and Brighton at Molineux Stadium, Sky Bet is providing a 'Featured RequestABet' and multiple 'Price Boosts'. Firstly, the RequestABet expects 'Hwang Hee-chan and Simon Adingra to each have 2+ shots on target, and each team must have four or more corners in 90 minutes.' The bet is valued at 18/1, which is an eye-catching possibility.

POWER RANKINGS: From another weekend of Premier League action, there were a slew of talking points. In the first seven minutes of Manchester United's match against Luton on Sunday, Rasmus Hojlund scored twice in the first seven minutes. Aston Villa beat Fulham 2-1 on Saturday to snap them off a late comeback. Ollie Watkins scored twice. Brighton & Hove Albion won by 5-0 at bottom of Sheffield United, who had played the majority of Sunday's Premier League match with 10 guys after Mason Holgate was banned from playing. But, who did enough to earn themselves a place in this week's Power Rankings? Over the weekend, Mail Sport ranked the ten best players from the Premier League.

When Brighton secured their first league away victory since November, Roberto De Zerbi lauded his team's forgiving the hard work of 10-man Sheffield United, who climbed to ninth place in the standings. We did well, especially in the first half.' I'm really sorry for the red card because I'd like to play 11 against 11 in every game,' the Italian manager said.

AADAM PATEL AT BRAMALL LANE: It's not the first time Mason Holgate has been suspended for a reckless challange. In each of the last three Premier League seasons, Holgate has been the only player to win a red card. In 2021, he was given a red card for Everton after a similar high challenge on Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg of Tottenham and last season, he was given two yellows against Crystal Palace

Sebastian Haller's spectacular finish was enough to win the Ivory Coast's dream AFCON final victory, defeating Nigeria 2-1. The first chance of the game fell within ten minutes after Brighton's Simon Adingra came inside and delivered an in-swinging cross. From there, the pressures grew and increased, with a more nimble showing from Evan Ndicka, who was headed down only for Max Gradel's acrobatic effort.

Sebastien Haller will never forget that 2022 is July 18, 2022 is a date Sebastien Haller will never forget. Borussia Dortmund's pre-season tour of Switzerland began on Tuesday, with Haller joining the team less than two weeks after arriving from Ajax for £31 million. However, it turned out to be something else than as the Ivorian striker complained of being sick in the morning and found a testicular tumor, which was later discovered to be cancer, just hours later.

Brighton has reported the signing of Nordsjaelland youngster Ibrahim Osman, who is expected to join the Premier League in the summer. The Ghanaian talent has signed a five-year deal with the Seagulls, which will run until 2029, as the club continues to recruit highly rated rising stars from around Europe.

According to reports, Brighton has agreed to a January transfer for exciting teenage prospect Ibrahim Osman of Danish club Nordsjaelland. After breaking into Nordsjaelland's first team, Osman has been pursued by a number of clubs, but Brighton is expected to have his signature. Nordsjaelland has paid the Ghanai forward a €19.5 million (£17 million) fee, and the Ghanaian forward has already completed his medical, according to The Athletic.

The Ivory Coast, two-time champions, has only scored three points in as many games and will qualify from the group stages. Equatorial Guinea grit and Jannick Buyla's late strikes left Equatorial Guinea grinning and the Ivory Coast with egg on their faces, with Emilio Nsue and late strikes from Pablo Ganet and Jannick Buyla.

AFCON is finally here, following months of rumors over which players will be ruled out of club action for up to four weeks. Following the most recent round of play, the continental tournament will take place from January 13 to February 11, with players having to join their national teams. This year's edition of the Ivory Coast will be held in Senegal, with Senegal as the reigning champions after defeating Egypt on penalties in the 2021 tournament (which took place in 2002).

MATT BARLOW, THE AMEX STADIUM : They will treasure 2023 in Brighton. They reached new heights last year, finishing sixth and heading to Marseille and Amsterdam. They partied into the early hours with Fat Boy Slim in Athens in the early hours. Seagulls supporters may have wished the year didn't come as they coasted into a four-goal lead against Tottenham Hotspur. Nonetheless, by the time the visitors reduced the deficit to spread anxiety through nine minutes of stoppage time, everyone must have been drained and ready for a lie-down. Two penalties were correctly converted as ever by Joao Pedro, a popular goal by fit-against Pervis Estupinan, and then a late wobble.

Brighton's injury crisis has widened, with wingers Kaoru Mitoma and Simon Adingra banned from playing until February. Both players had trouble in last week's 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace, with Mitoma on his ankle and Adingra a hamstring strain. Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi is now without up to ten players when Brighton welcome Tottenham Hotspur to the Amex tonight. We have ten injured players and maybe eight, but (the other) two players can't start the game,' he said.

ADRIAN KAJUMBA AT SELHURST PARK: Since seeing their team earn their second straight draw, Crystal Palace's supporters erupted in full throttle. But although the ones at Manchester City were on a heroic run to gain a point from 2-0 down, they were given some hope against Brighton. The home fans spent a long time waiting for referee John Brooks to blow the final whistle, which he eventually did as the two teams played out a very predictable fifth straight Selhurst Park draw.

ADRIAN KAJUMBA GOOGIE AT THE AMERICAN EXPRESS STADIUM: Brighton only had Simon Adingra's late equalizer to show for their domination, after a string of squandered hopes and Trafford's saves left them tied for one point. Wilson Odobert fired Burnley ahead after losing eye-catching winger Luca Koleosho to a long-term knee injury, his replacement, and another 'little gem'. Brighton was finally leveled up with 13 minutes remaining. They had 29 attempts and 71% possession in total.

ADRIAN KAJUMBA AT THE AMEX: Simon Adingra came to Brighton's rescue, bringing them a point against Burnley and keeping their incredible scoring streak going. Burnley's Burnley had just about held Brighton at bay as the clock ticked toward full time, leading to Wilson Odobert's first-half assault. However, Brighton's incessant pressure paid off with only 13 minutes remaining when Adingra nodded in the Seagulls leveller.
