Leandro Trossard – Skills and Goals – Highlights

Leandro Trossard (born 4 December 1994) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays for Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion and the Belgium national team. Trossard is a Genk youth academy product.

Trossard scored his first goal of the 2021–22 season on 11 September, firing in a 90th-minute winner scoring the only goal of the game in the 1–0 away win over Premier League newcomers Brentford. He conceded a penalty by barging into Conor Gallagher away at Crystal Palace in the first derby game of the season on 27 September, where Wilfried Zaha converted the spot kick to take Palace 1–0 up at the break. However, Neal Maupay scored a 90+5th-minute equaliser to take a point back to the south coast. Trossard scored Brighton’s equaliser away at Liverpool on 30 October, completing a stirring fightback, coming from 2–0 down to earn a 2–2 draw. He enjoyed his time in North London in April 2022 by scoring two goals in two games against Arsenal and Tottenham. Opening the scoreline in the 2–1 victory at Arsenal on the 9th and scoring a 90th-minute winner at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on his 100th Albion appearance, seven days later. This was his six goal of the season, making it his best scoring season since joining the Sussex club. On 7 May, Trossard assisted two goals and scored one with his chest which had to be reviewed by VAR for potential handball in the 4–0 home thrashing over Manchester United.

Trossard scored his first goal of the 2022–23 season adding Brighton’s second in the 2–0 away win at West Ham on 21 August, helping maintain their unbeaten run to 11 games against the Hammers in the Premier League. He scored his first home goal of the season on 4 September, putting Brighton back ahead in the eventual 5–2 home win over Leicester. In their next match on 1 October, Trossard became the first Brighton player to score a Premier League hat-trick in the 3–3 away draw at Liverpool. His first half double meant he was the first player to score two first half goals at Anfield since Wigan’s Amr Zaki in October 2008. Trossard’s hat-trick also meant he had scored four goals in two appearances at Anfield.
