A total of 11 different players have scored more goals across the Premier League than the quartet of Kostoulas, Hinshelwood, Gross and Ayari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/tottenham-hotspur\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tottenham Hotspur<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/newcastle-united\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Newcastle United<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/ipswich-town\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ipswich Town<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/fulham\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fulham<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/crystal-palace\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Crystal Palace<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/nottingham-forest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nottingham Forest<\/a> have their top scorers on fewer goals than the Seagulls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-reflection-of-their-play-style\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reflection of their play style<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having a reliable goalscorer in the team always brings comfort to the fans, who know they can expect a certain player to show up consistently. The likes of Erling Haaland, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/players\/alexander-isak\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Alexander Isak<\/a> and Joao Pedro have certainly provided that for their respective clubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But reliable strikers are not that easy to come by, and the Premier League is not exactly a welcoming competition. Players have to work hard to find their way to the back of the net. Brighton not having that may not be as bad or worrying as some may think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, Fabian Hurzeler&#8217;s play style fuels their current &#8216;everybody eats&#8217; kind of system. The Seagulls rank first both in goals from set pieces (9) and from outside the box (5). This increases the range of positions of players that could score for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have even seen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/players\/lewis-dunk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lewis Dunk<\/a> score a long-range screamer against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/coventry-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Coventry City<\/a>. As well as both Gross and Kostoulas finding the net from distance in their famous 3-0 win over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/arsenal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Arsenal<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/11\/03173242\/team_-pitch-3-stats-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1513967\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/11\/03173242\/team_-pitch-3-stats-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/11\/03173242\/team_-pitch-3-stats-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/11\/03173242\/team_-pitch-3-stats-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/11\/03173242\/team_-pitch-3-stats-214x267.jpg 214w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/11\/03173242\/team_-pitch-3-stats-160x200.jpg 160w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/11\/03173242\/team_-pitch-3-stats-48x60.jpg 48w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/11\/03173242\/team_-pitch-3-stats-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/11\/03173242\/team_-pitch-3-stats-120x150.jpg 120w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/11\/03173242\/team_-pitch-3-stats-59x74.jpg 59w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/11\/03173242\/team_-pitch-3-stats.jpg 1620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not to mention the amount of runs from behind that their midfielders perform. Which highlights how the likes of Ayari and Hinshelwood are both among their top scorers with three goals each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the constant movement from their centre-forwards also helps them get in good goalscoring positions. Both Kostoulas and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/players\/georginio-rutter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Georginio Rutter<\/a>, who are usually deployed up front, move around a lot and create space for midfielders to run into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another important factor of how they play that empowers players that normally wouldn&#8217;t score many goals is their aggressive and sharp man-to-man press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on how the opponent tries to manipulate them, Brighton players can be moved around. In case they end up in unconventional positions but still manage to recover possession near the goal, that&#8217;s half the battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s what happened in the Premier League opener against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/aston-villa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Aston Villa<\/a>. Ayari started as one of the defensive midfielders in the double pivot alongside Gross. But he found himself inside the box tracking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/players\/boubacar-kamara\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Boubacar Kamara<\/a> and then quickly switched to Joao Gomes as the Brazilian received the ball from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/players\/marco-bizot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Marco Bizot<\/a> facing him directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His challenge against Gomes is what won the Seagulls the ball back and left Hinshelwood with a clear-cut opportunity. The Englishman did not waste and made it 4-0 in the 31st minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turns out that not having one main, reliable scorer not only may not a bad thing for Brighton, but could be one of the reasons as to why they have been so impressive this season.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/\"><strong>Latest football news<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football betting tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best betting sites<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/best-free-bet-offers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best free bet offers<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/accumulator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football accumulator tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brighton and Hove Albion are flying in the Premier League thanks to a team-wide collective effort.
