I can't really add any more to my view on the first half. Brighton perked up a little but the 2nd goal killed them off. 

It is such simple but effective football and whilst we were on the 'backfoot', the difference between this season and last season is stark. We created lotd of great counter attacks and the only criticism could be that we didn't score again. 

I think there a lot of contenders for MOTM and I am not sure who I will pick but the block at the end from Towsend after doing a massive defensive shift almost won it on its own. Can you imagine James doing that?

Radio saying Richarlison took his top off and kicked a water bottle at full time in anger. 

I'll drive you to Paris myself, what time do you want picking up?

I didn't see it but I wonder whether his penalty incident was about wanting to say goodbye with a goal. 

Petulant little fucker though, maybe even worse than Kean midweek given the circumstances and his standing in the squad.

Well spotted.  I also picked up on him doing some brilliant defending.  Sets a very good tone in the side.

No stand outs for me which is good, I'd go gray for his goal though.

That was a proper team performance, with a few standout performers to just give us that little bit extra to get us over the line.

The first half was mostly a dull affair, with us picking up towards the end of the half which culminated in us taking the lead.

We didn't look back from that point and were in full control of the game, even if we weren't in control of the ball. We didn't really look under any threat of being pegged back to be honest and I felt a huge sense of ease watching the game, which was an odd experience after being terrified watching us for a lot of last season. We looked solid and organised and were a constant threat on the break, creating so many chances for us to finish the game off. Thankfully we did just that by getting the second goal.

That's our first clean sheet of the season and it didn't really look in doubt. We're growing by the game.
