Fascinating that Brighton have benched Mitoma again tonight for the third game running, despite the Japanese scoring twice in those three games. In those three games, Fabian Hürzeler has preferred João Pedro, Simon Adingra and Yankuba Minteh at left wing, but Mitoma has come on to great effect from the bench. I’m just not sure Mitoma thought he would be playing that role when Brighton turned down a bid €65m (£54.4m) from Al-Nassr in January. Mitoma has two years remaining on his contract.
