In this Premier League 2 encounter, Fulham U21 secured a 3-1 victory over Brighton and Hove Albion U21. Fulham’s early lead, established with a goal in the 21st minute, set the tone for a competitive first half. Brighton responded with an equalizer in the 38th minute, showing resilience and effective use of their chances. However, Fulham’s experience and ability to capitalize on opportunities were evident in the second half as they scored twice, at the 64th and 71st minutes, to seal the win.

A key factor in Fulham's success was their clinical finishing and efficient ball use. While both teams had numerous attacking opportunities, Fulham executed their chances more effectively, reflected in their 3 goals from 6 corner kicks, compared to Brighton's failure to convert any of their 4 corners. Fulham’s ability to stay onside better than Brighton (with fewer offside calls) contributed to maintaining their attacking momentum and creating sustained pressure leading to goals.

Discipline played a crucial role as well. Despite having an early yellow card, Fulham maintained composure and did not concede further cautions, which helped preserve their structural integrity and focus. Conversely, Brighton's two yellow cards in the second half disrupted their rhythm and possibly contributed to their inability to recover after Fulham's second-half goals. Substitutions and tactical changes did not turn the tide for Brighton, highlighting Fulham’s dominance in both team coordination and individual performances on the pitch.
