Brighton have become very tactically astute under head coach Graham Potter and this was self-evident in his side's 2-1 win over Manchester United on Sunday.

As Adam Lallana, who played a big role in that famous victory at Old Trafford, put it: "We had a shape, we had triggers. We went a little bit more direct because we knew United had been pressing well in pre-season.

We landed on second balls, gained good territory, and attacked the ball well in numbers." They outfought and outthought Erik ten Hag's men, particularly in the midfield battleground.

There have been plenty of other tactical masterclasses from the Albion boss, too. Away victories at Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur in April spring to mind, as does coming from 2-0 down to draw with Liverpool at Anfield last October, primarily through playing Leandro Trossard as a false nine.
