Cam Peupion scored for Albion under-21s as he eyes a January loan move. The Australian wideman made the breakthrough as the young Seagulls beat a particularly young but stubborn and well-organised Anderlecht side 2-0 at Lancing in the Premier League Cup. Marcus Ifill was also on target as Albion made it three wins from three in the competition. Peupion has shone for the youngsters this season and would appear a decent bet to be going on loan in January. Via Albion’s official website, he said: “I definitely feel like I'm ready for first-team football . “I didn’t get the opportunity in the summer so in this period until January I want to stay fit and stay sharp. “I think from my numbers this season I've put a good case forward. "I'm just focusing on each game and trying to maximize any time I'm on the pitch, trying to score goals, get assists, create for the team and show why someone out there should take me.” Peupion had an unsuccessful spell in the first half of last season on loan with a poor Cheltenham outfit but has been back with the Seagulls since last January and has had first-team involvement. He broke through early in the second half, tapping in a low cross from full-back Imari Samuels, who had worked a nice one-two with Harry Howell before playing the ball low across goal. Howell’s corner led to Ifill heading home the second. Albion dominated throughout and really should have scored several more goals. Anderlecht goalkeeper Michiel Haentjens made some fine saves – and his penalty stop from Jamie Mullins, diving low to his right, in the later stages was probably not the best of them. Josu Duffus hit the post soon after. Julio Enciso played the first half and had two efforts blocked by Haentjens amid a busy display. Albion: Cahill; Albarus, Turns, Simmonds, Samuels (Mills 86); Mullins, Knight (Owusu 85); Peupion (Ifill 69), Enciso (Duffus 45), Howell (Flower 75); Vickers.
