Brighton's 6-0 victory over Oxford United saw Huerzeler highlight three key takeaways

Brighton & Hove Albion displayed a long-awaited dominance with a resounding 6-0 victory over Oxford United in the second round of the Carabao Cup. Afterwards, manager Fabian Hürzeler summed up the three key takeaways from the match.

First, Hürzeler emphasized the team's offensive efficiency, noting that the team created numerous chances and scored six goals in the first 70 minutes. "We must maintain a positive attitude," he said. "The fact that we scored six goals shows that the team has strong offensive potential."

"Of course, we were a little lax at times. We gave an easy pass at the start, inviting a goal in the first half. We started the second half very strongly."

Secondly, goalkeeper Jason Steele's performance was also crucial to the victory, with his numerous crucial saves keeping the team clean sheet. Hürzeller praised him, saying, "We are fortunate to have such an outstanding second-choice goalkeeper. He not only demonstrated his goalkeeping skills, but also provided stability for the team with his leadership qualities."

Finally, the substitutes provided an extra boost, with young striker Stefanos Zimas scoring and making his debut after coming on as a substitute, proving his potential as a striker.

"I'm very satisfied with the performance of the substitutes," Hürzeler said. "This goal was very important for Zimas. He showed his ability in training, which is why we brought him here. I'm very happy that he made his debut."

With this victory, Brighton not only successfully advanced, but also accumulated confidence and motivation for the upcoming schedule. Brighton's next game will be on August 31st, when they host Manchester City in the Premier League.
