Republic of Ireland striker Evan Ferguson made the first European start of his career as Brighton secured a place in the knockout stages of the Europa League.
LONDON: Brighton booked their place in the Europa League knockout stage with a 1-0 win at AEK Athens, while West Ham also advanced after a late Tomas Soucek goal against Backa Topola on Thursday. Roberto De Zerbi’s side are competing in Europe for the first time in their history and the Seagulls’ adventure will continue into the new year thanks to Joao Pedro’s winner in Greece.

Damian Szymanski fouled Joao Pedro and the Brazilian striker picked himself up to slot home the penalty in the 55th minute. That made the Brighton man the top scorer in the Europa League with five goals, three of those having been penalties against AEK Athens. AEK’s fate was sealed when
