Brighton & Hove Albion produced a dominant display at Oakwell on 23 September 2025, defeating Barnsley 6-0 in the Carabao Cup third round. The Seagulls set the tone early, with Diego Gómez taking centre stage and scoring a first-half hat-trick to put the visitors firmly in control. Barnsley struggled to cope with Brighton’s intensity from the opening whistle.
Gómez opened the scoring in the 9th minute with a composed finish from close range, before doubling the lead with a powerful strike into the top corner in the 21st minute. His third goal, a precise low shot in the 33rd minute, left Barnsley’s defence scrambling and effectively ended any hope of a first-half comeback. Brighton’s attacking fluidity and Gómez’s finishing highlighted the gulf in quality between the sides.
The second half saw Brighton maintain control, with Gómez adding a fourth goal in the 68th minute, completing an exceptional individual performance. Substitutes Harry Howell and Yasin Ayari further extended the lead with late strikes in the 87th and 89th minutes, rounding off a comprehensive victory. Brighton’s squad depth and attacking coordination were on full display throughout the match.
Barnsley fought hard but found few opportunities to threaten, as Brighton’s high pressing and quick transitions kept them pinned in their own half. Their goalkeeper made several key saves, preventing the scoreline from becoming even more humiliating, but the visitors’ dominance was clear in every phase of play.
The result sends Brighton confidently into the Carabao Cup fourth round, continuing a string of strong cup performances in recent seasons. For Barnsley, the defeat is a reminder of the gap between League One and Premier League opposition, and they will need to regroup quickly as they turn attention back to their league campaign.
