Leeds United suffered a 3-0 defeat to Brighton at the Amex Stadium, marking their fourth loss in five away matches this Premier League season. Despite having possession and more corner kicks, Leeds struggled offensively and managed just two shots on target, with manager Daniel Farke acknowledging Brighton were the better side and deserved the win. Brighton, led by Fabian Hürzeler, showcased clinical attacking play with goals from Danny Welbeck and Diego Gomez, securing their first clean sheet of the season and moving into the top half of the standings.
