Brighton get the better of Bournemouth in relegation six-pointer

BRIGHTON signed off 2019 with a huge win over fellow relegation scrappers Bournemouth after a richly deserved 2-0 win on Saturday, courtesy of two first-time goalscorers for the Seagulls.

Iranian winger Alireza Jahanbakhsh was emotional after netting his first for the club since signing from AZ Alkmaar last season and Aaron Mooy, on a season-long loan from Championship side Huddersfield Town, capped off a man of the match performance with a well-taken goal to underline his worthwhile contribution to the side.

The Australian underplayed his own role in the victory but was frank about how he sees his future playing out.
