Brighton's Europa League campaign came to an end despite Roberto De Zerbi's side finishing on a high with a 1-0 victory over Roma at the Amex Stadium.

Match Report

Danny Welbeck's stunning 37th minute strike gave Brighton hope as they looked to overturn a 4-0 deficit from the first leg in Rome last Thursday.

De Zerbi's side pushed for more goals as Roma goalkeeper Mile Svilar made excellent saves to deny Simon Adingra and Igor Julio in the second-half.

But in the end, Roma comfortably progressed into the quarter-finals with a 4-1 aggregate win.

For Brighton, focus now turns to the Premier League where they will look to secure a return to European action for next season.
