Leeds united hoping to bounce back after disappointing season
Striker Georginio Rutter gave another impressive display as Brighton dismantled Southampton at St Mary’s Stadium.
Goals from Joao Pedro, Georginio, Kaoru Mitoma and Jack Hinshelwood sealed a comfortable afternoon’s work and moved the Seagulls to eighth in the Premier League.
Georginio, 22, was key to much of Brighton’s best attacking play and his second-half strike took his tally to eight goals, with five assists in all competitions for the season following his record £40m summer transfer from Leeds United.
Georginio’s ability to link the play and his physicality has been a major asset for Albion head coach Fabian Hurzeler. Georginio has combined well with Pedro and Welbeck so far this term and
his form was also a major reason why Evan Ferguson and Julio Enciso were allowed to leave on loan, to West Ham and Ipswich Town respectively.
