What happened. Brighton thrashed Coventry 5-0 at the CBS Arena, with Charalampos Kostoulas scoring before the break and Malick Yalcouye doubling the lead after it. Taiwo Awoniyi's red card for elbowing Maxin De Cuyper ended any Coventry hope, and Pascal Gross' penalty, Lewis Dunk's long-range strike and Yasin Ayari's stoppage-time goal completed the rout.

• Coventry remain pointless and goalless on their Premier League return, sitting bottom of the table.
• Brighton, the Premier League's top scorers, move up to fourth with the win.
• The first half produced 21 shots, the most in any Premier League game this season.

“I think it's tough. Obviously, he's raised his elbow and is waiting for him to com”

— Roy Keane

Brighton climb to fourth as the league's top scorers, while Coventry stay bottom without a point or a goal on their return.
