Impact Gross broke the deadlock for Brighton midway through the first half with a long-range shot. The German midfielder later set up Brighton's third goal with a corner kick, which Chema nodded home. Gross has been particularly productive despite his role as a holding midfielder. In his last four starts, he has scored three goals and provided three assists.

His six chances created further underlined his influence as Brighton controlled the contest, while his role on penalties and set pieces continues to provide multiple routes to production.

Impact Gross was heavily involved in the action for Brighton as they drew with Leeds but will leave the game feeling disappointed. He had five shots but failed to put a single one on target.

He also took seven crosses including three corners and failed to find a Brighton player. He left the game with a yellow card and one chance created.

The midfielder also created two chances, bringing him to six chances created through his first two Premier League matches of the season.

Impact Gross rejoined Brighton in January and contributed one goal and three assists across 19 Premier League appearances in the second half of last season.

He would still be around the ball quite a bit in a short time on the field, recording one shot, a chance created, one cross and two tackles won. With these his only minutes so far, he will likely remain a reserve option for the knockouts.

Gross should see regular minutes in Brighton's midfield right away, as he'd form an excellent partnership next to Carlos Baleba, who's out on AFCON duty with Cameroon.
