But the Seagulls aren’t afraid of getting stuck into the more physical side of the game too, and with the campaign entering its final quarter there’s already been plenty of drama, and more than enough refereeing controversies for fans and pundits alike to debate.
With than mind, we’ve taken a look (via WhoScored stats) at the Premier League’s 2021/22 disciplinary figures - including fouls, bookings, and red cards - and examine where Brighton rank among every other top flight side in the ‘dirtiest’ teams league table.
We’ve awarded half a point for a foul, one point for a yellow, three for two yellows followed by a red, and five for a straight red.
The teams are ranked from cleanest to dirtiest, and we’ve included a full break down of how many points each club scored in each separate category.
