Both sides made a positive start to the match, looking to get forward quickly and take the game to the opponent.

Brighton were handed a gift after 14 minutes to go 1-0 up. Silvano Vos played a poor pass which was intercepted by Simon Adingra who was able to slip in Ansu Fati and the 21-year-old Spaniard did the rest, firing past Diant Ramaj.

Brighton doubled their lead just 10 minutes inside the second half following a wonderful move. Ansu Fati was able to release Adingra on the right-hand side who thumped his finish past Ramaj.

Ajax had a huge chance to pull one back in the 75th minute when Brian Brobbey met Carlos Forbs’ cross but Brobbey’s effort could only strike both posts and straddle along the goal-line before being scrambled away.

Ajax huffed and puffed in the second half, moving the ball with more intensity and purpose, committing more players forward in attack but ultimately it too little too late for the hosts as Brighton were able to weather the storm and see out a famous victory in Amsterdam.

Brighton came into this one having won just one of their previous nine across all competitions so Roberto De Zerbi will be delighted to have recorded another victory tonight although he and the Brighton supporters will be hoping the injury to defender Lewis Dunk isn't too serious.

Next up for Brighton is Sheffield United in the Premier League and next up in Europe is an away trip to AEK Athens.

27 years ago today, Brighton were playing at home to Mansfield, bottom of the Football League and tonight Brighton have won their first ever European away match against Ajax. What an incredible journey!

A clean sheet and three points sends Brighton to the top of their UEFA Europa League group.

Ajax 0-2 Brighton and Hove Albion

The Seagulls get their first ever away win in European competition thanks to goals from Ansu Fati and Simon Adingra.

Brighton have a corner in injury time and have an opportunity to keep the ball in the corner and run down some time.

There will be a minimum of four additional minutes at the end of this one.

Bart Verbruggen comes to claim the ball and lies down on top of it to waste somet ime. Brighton are nearly at the finish line.

Ajax are really turning the screw now, they still believe that if they get one back that they can make this a tense finish.

Chuba Akpom fires an effort on target but it's straight at Bart Verbruggen! The hosts are really pushing for this now.

Ajax in the last 15/20 minutes have played with intensity, pressing high, moving the ball quickly and generally just playing a lot better. With just 10 minutes to go it remains to be seen f it's too little too late.

The ball is slipped through looking for Carlos Forbs who just delays and Julio is on him like a flash get the ball away.

Carlos Forbs fires in a brilliant cross and Brian Brobbey meets it with a strike that looked a certain goal, the ball struck both posts and straddled along the goal line but the referees watch did not buzz to indicate a goal! So close to a goal for Ajax.

Simon Adingra's strike which put the Seagull's 2-1 up in Amsterdam.

Carlos Forbs fires in a cross from the right-hand side looking for Berghuis but puts far too much on it and it's out of play for a goal kick.

The hosts have a corner and a chance to put pressure on the Brighton defence.
