Brighton secured an impressive 3-0 victory over Leeds, thanks to two second-half goals from Diego Gomez. This win propelled the team into the upper half of the table, while Leeds edged dangerously close to the relegation zone. Despite Brighton missing several chances after an early goal from Danny Welbeck, their relentless pressure proved decisive. Welbeck opened the scoring in the 11th minute, capitalizing on a cross from Mats Wieffer and a mistake by goalkeeper Lucas Perry.

Leeds had an opportunity to equalize through Matty Longstaff just before the break, but Brighton continued to dominate. Welbeck and Yankuba Minteh missed good chances, but the second half was marked by Gomez's goals. His first came from a low cross by Minteh, and the second followed a defensive error by Leeds, exploited by Georginio Rutter.

Brighton's defense, combined with a strong performance from goalkeeper Bart, secured their first clean sheet of the season. The team's manager, Fabian Hurzeler, praised the players' efforts and expressed satisfaction with the control his team displayed in the second half.

Brighton has shown potential for a stable performance in the league, while Leeds must improve their game to avoid a relegation battle. With a solid defense and effective attack, Brighton could continue to surprise their opponents.

Expert Analysis: Brighton's blend of attacking prowess and defensive solidity suggests they could be a formidable force this season. Meanwhile, Leeds must address their defensive frailties to steer clear of the drop zone.
