Brighton 0-0 Ipswich: Tractor Boys pick up another point

Date:

Brighton remained unbeaten in four games to start the 2024-25 Premier League, but new head coach Fabian Hurzler will be disappointed with only a point after drawing newly promoted Ipswich 0-0 at home on Saturday.

On the flip side, that’s a point in back-to-back games for Ipswich, who are quickly finding their footing in the top flight. Opening the season against Liverpool and Manchester City was the impossible ask, but the Tractor Boys have since shown they belong in the PL and that they will be tough to beat from game 1-38.

Brighton get the big-boy treatment, and deservedly so

At this point, everybody knows that Brighton want to press their opponents high up the field, turn them over and quickly create scoring chances in transition. I know it, you know it, and the managers of the PL know it, too. That’s why Kieran McKenna set Ipswich up to defend the Seagulls deep inside their defensive half, forcing them to play around and in between a low block, rather than straight through an stretched midfield and defense. The result is 70 percent of possession for Brighton, who took 15 of their 21 shots from the edge of the penalty area or farther. Not so dangerous then, are they?
