Why Brighton's distinct defensive tactics are hard to break down

Brighton sit in third place in the Premier League after securing victories against top sides like Manchester City and Arsenal, underpinned by a defense that has conceded just seven goals. Unlike most teams that shift to a zonal defensive block closer to their goal, Brighton use a unique, high-intensity man-to-man pressing approach across the pitch. This strategy involves attackers pressing opposition goalkeepers while cutting off passing angles, allowing them to disrupt opponents' build-up play successfully.
