- Brighton & Hove Albion thrashed Coventry City 5-0 in a Premier League match at the CBS Arena
- Lewis Dunk scored a screamer for Brighton in the dominant away performance
- Coventry City played most of the second half with 10 men after Taiwo Awoniyi was shown a red card
- Coventry's poor start to the Premier League season continues with the heavy home defeat
- Brighton's goals came after Awoniyi's dismissal tilted the match heavily in the visitors' favour for the bulk of the second half
Why it matters: A 5-0 home loss compounded by a red card deepens Coventry's early-season crisis and heaps pressure on the manager, while Brighton's emphatic away win — featuring a Lewis Dunk long-range strike — cements their growing threat in the Premier League and hands them a statement goal-difference boost.
