Brighton star makes a BBC team of week dominated by Arsenal trio and Aston Villa stars

Solly March has been included in Garth Crooks’ Team of the Week following his man-of-the-match performance against Liverpool on Saturday.

The in-form winger scored twice as Brighton claimed a memorable 3-0 victory over Jurgen Klopp’s side, making it four goals in as many Premier League games for the 28-year-old.

March gave Albion the lead less then a minute into the second half, poking home following a miss-hit Karou Mitoma shot, before doubling his sides lead with an outstanding curling effort across Allison from the edge of the area.

Crooks said: “He was unlucky not to make my team of the week when Brighton obliterated Southampton at St Mary's on December 26.

"Solly March scored a cracker that day and has been playing brilliantly throughout this season.”

The win lifts Brighton to seventh in the table, leapfrogging Liverpool who dropped to ninth after the second successive league defeat. The Reds are yet to win a game in any competition since returning to action following the World Cup.

Commenting on Liverpool’s form, Crooks said: “If you're a Liverpool fan you must be concerned. It wasn't losing to Brighton that stopped me in my tracks but the manner in which they lost.

"I said after their defeat against Brentford that their midfield looked old and unable to compete in the way they were two seasons ago. Jurgen Klopp has failed to address this problem and Liverpool will continue to struggle until he does.”

Here is the full team of the week – which includes Arsenal, Manchester Untied and Aston Villa players.
