We might say it was a document very best for Alexandra Palace, however… effectively, in all probability greatest to not use the phrase ‘Palace’ round Brighton followers in the intervening time.
Hitting 60, 60, 60 makes for an ideal 180 state of affairs for Luke Littler and co, however for Brighton and Hove Albion it encapsulates the up and down nature of their life within the Premier League.
That is as a result of their defeat to Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon has introduced their document over their previous 180 Premier League video games into excellent steadiness.

We presume TNT Sports activities have been going for the darts angle after they put that stat collectively, however sure: Brighton’s document over their previous 180 video games is received 60, drawn 60, misplaced 60.
That determine goes again to their 1-1 draw away to Sheffield United in February 2020, the Seagulls’ third season within the Premier League.

Brighton have balanced out ending fifteenth that season and sixteenth the next yr with rising to ninth in 2021/22 and sixth in 2022/23.
Final season they completed eleventh and have been virtually as even because it was attainable to get, with 12 wins, 12 attracts and 14 losses. That is carried on into the brand new marketing campaign, with six wins, six attracts and 4 defeats.
Annoyingly, Brighton have marred what would in any other case have been a completely excellent stat by arising with a purpose distinction of -3 over these 180 video games, scoring 243 and conceding 246.
As such we’re rooting for Fabian Huerzeler to information Brighton to win 4-0, lose 1-0 and draw twice by any scoreline of their subsequent 4 video games, which might give them the best W60, D60, L60, GD0 document the day after PDC World Championship wraps up on January 3. (Irritatingly, they can not do it earlier than then as a result of the present first three video games of the run are two attracts and a loss.)
And truly, with West Ham, Brentford, Aston Villa and Arsenal subsequent on the agenda in Brighton’s festive run of Premier League motion, that does not really feel like too large an ask.
Come on, Fabian. Give the individuals what they need.
