Brighton have had around just 40% possession in their last two games - but have won them both.

Only once since the start of last season have they had less of the ball in a game – a 4-0 home defeat against Manchester City in April.

The Seagulls have averaged 60% possession in the Premier League since the start of last season.

Interestingly, Brighton had similarly little of the ball in the same fixtures against Newcastle and Tottenham last season – and still took four points.
