  "account": "Brighton kicked off their Premier League season with a commanding 4-0 victory over Aston Villa at the Amex Stadium on Sunday. Maxim de Cuyper scored the opening goal with an own goal in the eighth minute, followed by another from De Cuyper 10 minutes later. Villa, who finished fourth in the top flight last season, then struggled as Jack Hinshelwood scored two quick goals within minutes to put Brighton 4-0 ahead. The visitors were further inconvenienced when Unai Emery's side were reduced to 10 men after Joao Gomes was sent off for a red card in the 40th minute, ending his nightmare debut. Brighton capitalized on the early red card as they scored their third and fourth goals, making it an emphatic win for the Seagulls. Villains Villa had made a promising start, with Emiliano Buendia almost giving them the lead inside five minutes, but could not hold onto the advantage.",
