The 19-year-old Ecuadorian international already had appearances for Brighton in the English League Cup.
Although he barely played eight minutes and his team signed an insufficient goalless draw at home against Leeds United, the Ecuadorian national team Jeremy Sarmiento finally debuted this Saturday with the Seagulls in the English Premier League.
The footballer born in Madrid, to Ecuadorian parents, entered the variant at 82 minutes to replace the Polish Yakub Moder.
It was the first performance of the Ecuadorian international in a match valid for the English first division championship, since Sarmiento recorded 21 and 69 minutes of play against Swansea City and Leicester City, respectively, for the League Cup in England.
Manager Graham Potter had taken him to the bench four times for the Premier League: against Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle United and Aston Villa; but it was not until Saturday’s game against Leeds that he decided to give him minutes on the field.
A chronicle published on Brighton’s official website says that the tricolor entered the field when Leeds felt the opportunity to take all three points and Spanish goalkeeper Robert Sánchez came to Brighton’s rescue twice in the space of a minute with excellent saves that they thwarted the attempts of Stuart Dallas and Tyler Roberts.
“There was still time for Brighton to hit the wood a third time when Solly March’s shot went over Illan Meslier, but the ball bounced off the goalkeeper’s arms.”
The draw at the Amex Stadium keeps Graham Potter’s team in a rut and leaves the team of Argentine Marcelo Bielsa with the firm threat of relegation.
Brighton had the best chances to break the balance but it was not successful. The local team has already accumulated seven games without winning although the harvest collected in the first section of the course keeps them in a comfortable area of the classification. It is eighth.
Quite the opposite of Leeds. The point obtained in the field of his rival does not allow him to escape from the bottom. He is just three from the relegation zone, from the third-to-last place of Burnley that hosts Tottenham on Sunday. (D)
