Brighton are currently sitting third in the Premier League table, having taken 10 points from their opening five league games, and Saturday's 3-0 win over Arsenal has fan Maz Mirzadeh believing "something special is brewing" this season.

A key detail in the effectiveness of Brighton’s pressing was the backwards defending done by their forwards. This is when players run back to apply pressure on an opponent from behind once the ball is passed beyond them, helping prevent easy return passes to defenders or the goalkeeper.
