Minteh proves Brighton’s latest gem as Leeds crumble on the wings
Brighton have unearthed another gem in Yankuba Minteh.
Indeed, the winger’s 2024 summer signing is finally bearing fruit.
Meanwhile, Leeds offered little answer to his thrusts down Brighton’s right at Elland Road.
Only wayward finishing prevented Minteh from a goal.
Welbeck finished once and Gómez struck twice to seal the win.
Gómez remains the standout in Brighton’s conveyor belt of talent.
“Top performances from both of them,” Welbeck said, brushing aside England chatter.
“Minteh was dangerous all day long,” he added.
Overall Brighton moved the ball with tempo and purpose.
Thus Leeds must regroup quickly if they are to climb.
TLDR
- Minteh’s pace unsettled Leeds all day and exposed Brighton’s wing threat.
- Gómez and Welbeck punished Leeds with decisive finishing to seal the win.
- Leeds must tighten up defensively and improve finishing at home.
