Spanish midfielder, Ansu Fati, who is on loan to Brighton Hove & Albion from FC Barcelona, finally got his Premier League goal earlier today after three league matches.
Ansu Fati got his first Premier League goal less than four minutes after replacing Evan Ferguson in the 46th minute.
This was even as Aston Villa thrashed Brighton six goals to one.

Fati’s 50th-minute goal came when Aston Villa had already scored three goals in the first 26 minutes of the encounter, courtesy of Ollie Watkins’ double strike and an own goal from Pervis Estupiñán.
A fast free-kick from Pedro sent Aston Villa scrambling at the back, and a botched clearance went straight to Ansu Fati at the right post for an easy finish.
After Ansu Fati’s goal, Aston Villa came firing again when most followers of the game thought the goal from the FC Barcelona loanee would inspire a comeback.
Ollie Watkins scored his hat-trick in the 65th minute to make it 4-1 after one hour of an entertaining Premier League clash. Jacob Ramsey took away every chance of Brighton fighting back as he made it 5-1 in the 86th minute, to the delight of spectators at Villa Park.
And just when Brighton thought they had seen the worst, Douglas Luiz scored the 6th Villa goal in injury time as the game ended 6-1 in favour of the hosts.
