Brighton’s rise prompts a question, could they be first south of London in the Champions League? | OneFootball

According to L'Équipe, since their historic 2017 promotion to the Premier League, Brighton have kept progressing, and their current start has sparked ambitions their fans once thought unlikely.

On Wednesday in the League Cup, a much-changed Seagulls side won 3-2 at Manchester United. United rotated too, and the victory sealed progression.

That tie underlined a striking trend, over the past four years Brighton have won five of their last six trips to Old Trafford in all competitions.

The surge has supporters contemplating targets they would not have imagined a few years ago.

It even raises the question of whether Brighton could become the first club south of London to reach the Champions League.
