- By Chris Riches

PREMIER League club Brighton and Hove Albion is as green as the pitch at its Amex Stadium, topping the table of teams doing their bit for the environment.

The cleanest clubs in England’s top flight can be revealed after the 20 football giants were ranked for their CO2 emissions, sustainability, pollution and green spaces.

And it is no wonder Seagulls midfielder Brajan Gruda is smiling, as his team has been crowned green champions with an environmentally friendly home win, scoring 80.6 out of 100.
