Sunderland 0-2 Brighton
Brighton overcame a second-half red card to pull through Sunderland 2-0 at the Estadio de la Llum, with Maxim De Cuyper and Jaouen Hadjam scoring for the visitors.
The Seagulls played more than 30 minutes with 10 men after Pascal Struijk was sent off, but Sunderland were unable to capitalize on their numerical advantage.
Both sides hit the woodwork in an entertaining first half. Wilson Isidor turned Enzo Le Fee’s cross against the post before Struijk headed home Pascal Gross’ free-kick on the right just before the break.
Brighton broke the deadlock in the 53rd minute when Gross collected a quick pass and found De Cuyper, who took a touch before slotting past Robin Roefs.
However, the visitors suffered a setback four minutes later when Struijk was dismissed following a VAR review for denying Isidor a goal-scoring opportunity.
Sunderland pushed forward in search of an equaliser, with Granit Xhaka testing Bart Verbruggen from a free-kick before Malick Fofana saw an effort comfortably saved.
Brighton defended well despite their numerical disadvantage and sealed victory in stoppage time.
Substitute Georginio Rutter put Hadjam on down the left, and the defender marked his Premier League debut with a composed finish past Roefs to secure all three points.
