Brighton's stunning run of results has put the club within two points of the Premier League summit after victories over the two top-performing teams in English football this season, according to Sporting News.
The outlet frames the form as a direct challenge to pundit Jamie Carragher's idea of an established 'chain' of clubs, a hierarchy that is expected to come under fresh scrutiny once Manchester City's long-running charges case is resolved.
With City's case still looming over the division, Brighton's results are being held up as evidence that the traditional ranking of England's elite clubs may no longer hold, according to Sporting News.
