Egyptian defender Adam El-Abd made his 300th appearance for Brighton & Hove Albion in a thumping 5-1 victory over Barnsley in the English Championship. El-Abd, who is still uncapped by Egypt, played 90 minutes as Barnsley's Egyptian striker Mido remained sidelined for the week 3 match. Ashley Barnes and Craig Mackail-Smith scored two goals apiece as England international Wayne Bridge completed the rout. Barnsley are in 20th place with three points from as many games while Brighton moved to 9th on four.
