Sarr wins Player of the Match as Brighton triumphs.
Pape Matar Sarr earned the title of HSBC Player of the Match from our supporters for his outstanding performance in his first start of the calendar year, contributing to our 2-1 victory over Brighton on Saturday.
This marks his first Player of the Match recognition since the opening day draw against Brentford. Pape secured 33 percent of the votes in an exclusive poll on our official app immediately after the match.
Given the opportunity for his inaugural league start of the year after representing Senegal in the Africa Cup of Nations, the midfielder showcased his prowess as we came from behind to overcome Brighton. Despite trailing due to Pascal Gross’ 17th-minute penalty, Pape emerged as the hero, skillfully curling in a goal from a tight angle with his weaker foot. This goal extended our impressive streak to 36 consecutive Premier League games with a goal, second only to Arsenal’s record of 55 in the history of the competition. The victory was sealed in the final moments as Brennan Johnson netted from close range.
