Brighton season review: Winning at Anfield, a Pep Guardiola bust-up, Ben White and black eyes
A. is for Adam and Yves. Lallana and Bissouma brought an excellent balance to Albion’s midfield this campaign. Bissouma’s strength and defensive awareness complemented Lallana’s game perfectly, as he was able to pull the strings and dictate possession in the heart of midfield.
B. is for Black-eyed Potter. Reporters were surprised to see Graham Potter with a black eye ahead of the trip to Sheffield United back in April. Fortunately, it wasn’t because of any training ground bust-up; the gaffer simply lost his footing and fell into a metal railing during an outing to Brighton beach!

Hide AdC. is for Captain Fantastic. Once again, Lewis Dunk has been one of the star performers this season, marshalling the team with his leadership from defence. Down the other end, he bagged five crucial goals for Albion and finished the season as the club’s third highest scorer. Only Chelsea’s Kurt Zouma notched as many goals among defenders.
