Can Brighton & Hove Albion keep scoring at this rate?

Brighton have won 4, drawn 1 and lost 1 of their last six matches for 13 points, scoring 19 and conceding 7. The headline results are heavy ones: 5-0 away at Coventry City on 13 September, 3-0 at home to Arsenal on 19 September, and 4-0 at home to Tromsø IL in the UEFA Conference League on 27 August. They also went to Manchester United in the EFL Cup on 16 September and won 3-2.

The 19 is real, then. What complicates it is the shape of the other two results. Leeds United came to the Amex on 5 September and left with a 1-1 draw, and Brighton's trip to Chelsea on 30 August ended 3-4 after they had scored three of their own. Arsenal, Coventry and Tromsø were kept out entirely. Chelsea put four past them.

So this is a side that overwhelms opponents who let them play and gets dragged into shootouts when they don't.

Sunderland's wins have all looked the same
