If there are English Premier League teams we could say are punching above their weight, then those are definitely Brighton and Brentford.Two modest clubs are having a highly successful campaign, still dreaming of incredible heights – the place in some European competitions next season.As things stand, after their tonight’s victories against Crystal Palace (1-0) and Southampton (0-2), respectively, the Seagulls and the Bees are close to reaching UEFA Europa Conference League. Roberto de Zerbi’s slot is joint-sixth with Liverpool, but with a game in hand, which means they could even push for the Europa League.Just a point below, Brentford are also hoping for a larger-than-life achievement and their Wednesday night’s success at St. Marry’s makes it even more possible. Their top star Ivan Tooney scored the first-half opener against the Saints, keeping his wonderful goal-scoring streak alive.YOANE WISSA WITH THE DAGGER!!! IVAN TONEY ASSIST!!!pic.twitter.com/gmMwNA02yA— Football Report (@FootballReprt) March 15, 2023 Tooney put the cherry on the top of his amazing performance with a late assist to Congolese attacker Yoane Wissa, deep into stoppage time, for 2-0.On the other hand, Brighton celebrated in the same fashion, albeit Patrick Vieira’s Crystal Palace deserved more than that single goal conceded early on. Solly March made the most of Mitoma’s assist for a win, but the hosts missed several more chances to increase the lead as the visitors struggled to impose any sort of domination around Brighton’s box.
