Memes abound as Gennaro Gattuso's Marseille go 2-0 up against Brighton before making a mess of it as the Seagulls nab a first European point.
Both teams could certainly point to the good times and the sh*t ones here, but it will be Brighton who depart the happier and not just because of the nature of the comeback.
The concerns over Brighton’s defending were not eased here. The two goals conceded in quick succession were horrible, the second in particular notable for a wildly uncharacteristic yet hideous error from Lewis Dunk, who also didn’t particularly cover himself in glory for the first goal. It’s far too early to say Brighton have been worked out, but there are enough reasons to be worried now given the amount of times it’s happening. Being outwitted by a manager as savvy as Unai Emery is one thing, having your defensive shape pulled apart by Gattuso quite another.
Danny Welbeck should have scored or squared a particularly eye-catching opportunity, while Ansu Fati’s clever looping header had Pau Lopez at full stretch as warnings were sounded that Marseille did not or could not heed.
