Aston Villa grabbed three crucial points as they won 3-0 at Brighton on Wednesday. Marcus Rashford scored in the first half and Marco Asensio and Donyell Malen added late clinchers as Unai Emery’s side were excellent on the counter attack. Brighton dominated vast swathes of the game but Fabian Hurzeler’s side couldn’t find the finishing touch.

Brighton's fans delivered a smattering of boos when the final whistle sounded on a damaging defeat at Amex Stadium.It was more an expression of frustration than fury, this disappointing result following hot on the heels of Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final loss on penalties to Nottingham Forest.
