‘Absolute disaster’ – BBC pundit comments on the performance of Leeds United left back against Brighton
BBC pundit Micah Richards reacted to the performance of Leeds United player Junior Firpo against Brighton on Saturday. The 33-year-old said that the left-back greatly struggled against Tariq Lamptey. The former Manchester City player said on Match of the Day on BBC One: “Firpo had an absolute disaster against him (Lamptey). “Firpo didn’t know what day was it. Didn’t know what he had come up against.” Brighton hosted Leeds United at the Falmer Stadium hoping to bounce back from their 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa.

‘Admirers at Goodison’: Report claims £30m PL player is now on Everton’s radar
Everton will be looking to sign a right-back in the summer transfer window as the Toffees hope to find a long-term successor to right-back, Seamus Coleman.

Many Everton fans feel that Tariq Lamptey would be a fantastic addition to Carlo Ancelotti’s squad. According to The Athletic’s David Ornstein, Everton are one of the clubs who remain a keen admirer of the Brighton and Hove Albion right-back.

A third first-team player from Brighton & Hove Albion tested positive for COVID-19 on Saturday, the Premier League club’s chief executive Paul Barber has confirmed. Two Brighton players had contracted the novel coronavirus in March and April and the latest positive result could cast doubts on the Premier League’s plans to resume the season that has been suspended due to the pandemic.
