Brighton v Aston Villa
Match Timeline & Momentum
Commentary
FULL-TIME: BRIGHTON 4-0 ASTON VILLA
Cash is cautioned right at the death for a sliding challenge on the lively Osman.
Even the home fans want the final whistle now, with the second half being an outright no‑contest. Brighton can expect a more ordinary – and perhaps tougher – test when they travel to Chelsea next in the Premier League, after aiming to book their place in the Europa Conference League against Tromso next Thursday.
Five minutes of added time will be played at the end of this one.
SAVED! Osman squares up Cash on the near side, burns past him, and hits the byline. The Ghanaian then floats a superb ball into the middle for Costinha, who climbs well but is simply too far out to generate the power or precision needed to beat the keeper.
We’re about to tick into the final minute of the 90, and the torture is almost over for Aston Villa.
