High-flying Brighton and Hove Albion won 2-0 at Sunderland to make it three straight Premier League wins without conceding despite having to play more than half an hour with ten men.

Brighton and Hove Albion earned a 2-0 victory against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on Saturday, October 10, 2026, to remain third in the Premier League. Maxim De Cuyper opened the scoring in the 53rd minute before substitute Jaouen Hadjam added a stoppage-time goal to secure three consecutive top-flight wins without conceding for Fabian Hurzeler's side.
The visitors managed the win despite defender Pascal Struijk receiving a straight red card following a VAR review in the 57th minute. Midfielder Pascal Gross assisted De Cuyper's opening goal, becoming the oldest player to record assists in three consecutive Premier League games since Ryan Giggs in 2012.
