Algerian international defender Joen Hadjam made an immediate impact during Brighton's match against Sunderland in the sixth round of the English league. Entering the pitch as a substitute in the 88th minute, he scored the second goal for his team in the 90+3 minute, securing a 2-0 victory. Brighton played much of the second half with ten men following the 57th-minute red card of Pascal Struijk. Hadjam, who has now opened his Premier League goal account for the season alongside a previous assist in the League Cup, continues his impressive run following his recent international appearance where he scored against Zambia. Brighton currently sits in 3rd place with 13 points, while Sunderland remains 16th with 4 points.
