Romelu Lukaku continued his impressive form for Roma as they secured a commanding victory over Brighton in the Europa League, further adding to Chelsea’s regret over his loan departure. The on-loan striker scored his seventh goal in eight Europa League appearances, contributing to Roma’s comprehensive win alongside goals from Paulo Dybala, Gianluca Mancini, and Bryan Cristante.

Despite Brighton’s efforts, injuries and recent poor form have plagued their season, with defeats to Wolves in the FA Cup and Fulham in the Premier League. Their challenges were compounded by the unfortunate incident of two fans being stabbed by a masked gang of thugs during the match, highlighting the off-field challenges faced by the club. Roma took control early on, with Dybala breaking through Brighton’s defense to open the scoring. Lukaku further extended Roma’s lead before Mancini and Cristante added to the tally, leaving Brighton with a mountain to climb in the second leg.

Although Brighton showed glimpses of resilience, particularly through efforts from Simon Adingra and Danny Welbeck, they were ultimately outplayed by Roma’s dominance. Despite a late attempt at redemption by Lewis Dunk, Roma emerged victorious, leaving Brighton facing an uphill battle in the return leg.
