Portland Timbers on loan defender Liam Ridgewell made his debut for Brighton & Hove Albion this weekend as he played the full 90 minutes in the Seagulls' 1-0 loss to Hull City in the Emirites FA Cup third round stage. Ridgewell, who started his loan stint with Brighton on December 30, 2015, was part of a Brighton defense that handled 17 shots but it was a 41st minute penalty by the host's Robert Snodgrass that gave Hull the win.
