In the following minutes, Brighton increased the pressure on Southampton's goal. In the 21st minute, Mitoma displayed technical skill in his shot that beat Southampton goalkeeper McCarthy, but the ball found the woodwork once again. After relentless efforts, Brighton finally found the opening goal in the 29th minute through Ferguson's well-placed low shot.

Ferguson shines with a brace for Brighton

Before the end of the first half, Brighton extended their lead. Mitoma utilized his speed down the left flank before delivering an exquisite outside-of-the-boot cross for Ferguson to easily find the back of the net for the second time.

In the second half, Brighton continued to dominate the game. However, Southampton unexpectedly managed to pull one back in the 58th minute through Elyounoussi. Just four minutes later, Walcott displayed his pace as he unleashed a technically impressive shot that hit the back of Brighton's net, but after VAR review, the referee ruled it offside.

Not long after escaping a potential goal, Brighton restored their two-goal advantage. Gross exhibited clever ball control inside the penalty area before unleashing a powerful shot into the near corner, leaving Southampton goalkeeper McCarthy helpless. Towards the end of the match, Brighton created a few more chances but failed to score any additional goals.

With this victory, Brighton solidified their sixth position in the Premier League standings with 61 points, widening the gap to four points ahead of Tottenham in eighth place, who have only one remaining match. This means that Brighton has officially secured their first-ever European Cup qualification in history.
