I'm so proud of the girls from Brighton! They've been working so hard for months now and it's amazing to see them finally break that winning drought 
. Nine games without a win is a huge challenge, but they showed incredible spirit and teamwork out there on Saturday 
. And let's be real, 4-1 is just a thrashing 
. The fact that Leicester City was so dominated says a lot about Brighton's quality and determination. It's clear that the coaching staff has been doing something right 
. For all the parents who've had to deal with constant disappointment and frustration, I'm sure this win brings a sense of relief and hope for a brighter future ahead 
. Go Seagulls! 
they were so dominant against leicester city, it was like watching a whole different team out there 
the way they created chances and scored goals from everywhere on the pitch was insane 
i mean we all know how frustrating it can be to watch a losing streak go on forever, but brighton's response is just incredible 
i mean leicester city was just getting destroyed they couldn't even cope with brightons pressure it's clear that brighton has been working on their gameplan because the penalty kick in the 15th minute was so clutch 
️
and to see them keep up that intensity throughout the second half was amazing i'm loving the determination and resilience shown by the team, especially after all those losses 
? and 6 game losing streak later they go from 0-1 to 4-1 
what a turnaround! seriously though, i'm loving the underdog story with brighton. they're like the england team in the world cup - never give up 
anyhoo, leicester city got thrashed and thats all that matters, i'm just glad to see the seagulls takin it up a notch 
and destroyed leicester city! it's like they were waiting for that one moment to snap and now they're unstoppable 
i'm loving this momentum shift for the seagulls, fingers crossed they can keep this up and secure those top 4 spots 
that penalty kick was everything!! ben white is having an amazing season 
and i'm loving the way brighton's playing as a team, all that pressure they put on leicester was just too much 
falmer stadium is always a lively place to watch a match, hope they keep up the good work 
They're gonna tell us that because they've got goals, they must be scoring more than just one or two goals per game? And don't even get me started on the stats - "convincing display of dominance" - sounds like something a sponsor came up with to sell me some jerseys... 
cant believe they cudnt cope with brightons pressure 
. I mean, that penalty kick in the 15th minute was pure magic
