Albion progressed into the second round of the EFL Cup with a 4-0 win against Colchester this evening.

Goals from Jamie Murphy (two), Sam Baldock and Elvis Manu took the Seagulls through but what did Brighton fans learn from the match?

1: Steady debuts. New signing Oliver Norwood and youngsters Rob Hunt, Ben White and Sam Adekugbe all enjoyed nice and steady debuts. Particularly pleasing for Albion will be the clean sheet for the young defenders, who played alongside Rohan Ince at the back.
