Poyet’s Seagulls flying high

Brighton manager Gus Poyet intends to enjoy his side going top of the Championship but knows it is too early in the season to get carried away.

Goals from Ashley Barnes and Adam El-Abd helped Brighton to a fifth straight league win, a 2-1 success at Millwall on Saturday. Barnes opened the scoring after 17 minutes at the New Den and El-Abd increased the lead on 50 minutes.

The home side had substitute Chris Taylor dismissed after 67 minutes and Chris Wood’s 79th-minute strike was little consolation for the Lions, who have lost their last three games.
