It was in the 13th minute that the Swede, after 29 league appearances this season, finally broke his personal goal drought.
The 21-year-old got the ball a bit outside the penalty area and didn't hesitate to test from distance. A good decision, it would prove to be.
The ball sailed elegantly over goalkeeper Alphonse Areola, who was helpless, and landed in the top-right corner.
The goal was thus the Swede's first in the Premier League, and only his second since moving from AIK to the British Isles in January 2023. The first one he scored in the English second division, The Championship, when he was on loan to Coventry.
The Swede has had his major breakthrough this season and has become a regular player on Brighton's midfield, after double loans to the second division. Even in the national team, Ayari has become one of the most obvious midfielders, despite the tough competition.
The match ended 3–2, after Brighton equalized in the 89th minute and then decided it in the 93rd minute through Carlos Baleba.
Brighton were in 10th place in the Premier League before this weekend's round.
