How the Irish fared: Chris Hughton gets his revenge

Chris Hughton isn’t the revenge type but you’d have to suspect Saturday’s 5-0 mauling of Norwich City in the Championship meant plenty to the Brighton boss.

It was a win achieved against a side that had unceremoniously sacked him two and a half years ago.

At the time of Hughton’s dismissal, Norwich, then a Premier League side, were five points clear of the relegation zone with five games of the season remaining. In a typically dignified statement Hughton spoke of his disappointment at the decision but said he was “totally confident” he would have kept Norwich up.
