We have reported to UEFA and Italian Police and requested immediate action be taken."

WHAT BRIGHTON SAID

Brighton fans were advised by the club not to wear their colours in the city, for fear of violence from Roma ultras. Both supporters who were stabbed have now been discharged from hospital, per <a href="https://talksport.com/football/1779047/brighton-statement-attacks-roma-fans-europa-league/" target="_blank">talkSPORT</a>.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Brighton will hope UEFA are strong in their punishment of Roma. In the meantime, they will have to recover from a bruising loss - which effectively ends their European dream - quickly, as they face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Sunday.
