Ansu Fati, a player on loan from Barcelona, finally returned from injury on Saturday, helping Brighton defeat Crystal Palace 4-1 in the Premier League.
In his most recent injury comeback, Fati—who hadn’t played since November—entered the game as an extremely late substitute.
Thanks to goals from Lewis Dunk, Jake Hinshelwood, Facundo Buonanotte, and Joao Pedri, the Seagulls had a great day and won easily.
Now that he is back in the lineup, Fati will be hoping to stay injury-free and keep contributing to Roberto De Zerbi’s team before the season ends and his loan expires.
Brighton’s win means they finish the weekend in eighth place in the table and continue to punch above their weight in the English top flight.
De Zerbi’s side also have a Europa League campaign to look forward to. The Seagulls topped their group and will now wait to find out who they will play in the last 16. The draw will be made on February 23.
