Svilar and Lukaku play against Brighton

From a Belgian point of view, Roma-Brighton was the best match to watch, because with Mile Svilar in goal and Romelu Lukaku in the striker, two compatriots were in the starting line-up for the home team. The two Belgians saw how Paulo Dybala gave Roma the lead after just twelve minutes. The Argentinian was sent deep, rounded the keeper and put the ball into the goal. The linesman had (wrongly) seen offside, but VAR intervened: 1-0 for Roma. Lukaku doubled the lead just before half time. He punished a mistake by Brighton defender Lewis Dunk and kicked in low into the corner.
