New Brighton Boss Gets Schooled

The super smart coach Roberto De Zerbi just started coaching Brighton this season. He likes his team to keep the ball and attack.

But wily old Villa boss Unai Emery had a sneaky plan to beat Brighton's style. He knew just how to pick them apart on counter attacks. Uh oh! The new coach got schooled.

Bully Watkins Runs Wild
