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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
But in the end, Roma comfortably progressed into the quarter-finals with a 4-1 aggregate win.<\/p>\n
For Brighton, focus now turns to the Premier League where they will look to secure a return to European action for next season.<\/p>\n
