Brighton continued their fantastic start to the season with a 2-1 win over mid-table Leicester.Graham Potter oversaw just nine Premier League wins last campaign – four at home – but added Leicester to a list of 2021/22 scalps already including Burnley, Watford and Brentford.After winning against Watford and losing to Everton at the Amex, the Seagulls hosted Leicester with genuine hope of avenging their two losses against the Foxes last season and beating them for the first time in the Premier League.Neal Maupay’s first-half penalty boosted those aspirations before Danny Welbeck doubled their lead in the 50th minute.Jamie Vardy threatened to inspire a comeback with a goal on the hour mark but it turned out to be a mere consolation for the Europa League side, who had two goals disallowed for offside against Harvey Barnes.Brighton had the best of the early chances, including when Maupay was fed through by Marc Cucurella, but his shot was blocked and deflected over the crossbar.Solly March also had an opportunity to break the deadlock after being played in by Joel Veltman but his low drive was saved by the legs of Schmeichel.A penalty decision from Stuart Atwell handed the home side the breakthrough they had threatened from the start.The ball into the box was headed by Shane Duffy and struck Jannik Vestergaard’s hand at close range, with the referee pointing to the spot after a discussion with his assistant.VAR then upheld the decision before Maupay scored from the spot to claim his third goal of the season.Leicester looked marginally more threatening after the break and Vardy capitalised on a loose ball only to drag his shot wide of the target.However, Brighton doubled their lead just moments later, with former England international Welbeck sending a header past Schmeichel.The free-kick was put into the box from Leandro Trossard and Welbeck timed his run, lost Vardy who appeared to be marking him, and jumped well to nod into the back of the net.Leicester halved the deficit just after the hour mark, with substitute Ademola Lookman playing a clever back-heeled one-two with Youri Tielemens who sent in a well-timed ball to the back post which was calmly slotted into the net by Vardy.The visitors appeared to have secured an equaliser when Lookman scuffed a volley into the back of the net, but it was ruled out.The assistant referee had raised his flag for offside with VAR upholding the decision, with Barnes in the line of sight of goalkeeper Robert Sanchez and was offside as the ball came in to the former Fulham player.Caglar Soyuncu headed wide inside the box with just over 10 minutes remaining as Leicester kept the pressure on in search of a leveller, with Barnes also having a shot deflected onto the bar.Leicester looked to have equalised for a second time, only for Wilfred Ndidi’s header to be ruled out for another offside from Barnes, who was ruled to be obstructing Sanchez for a second time.
