Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford
It's all over at the Amex, as Brighton return to the winners circle with a comfortable three-points! The Seagulls picked up from where they left off in the early stages of the second half, with Pedro putting two early chances over and into the gloves of Flekken respectively. Brentford almost responded with quick-fire efforts from Maupay and Wissa, but less than a minute later, Brighton found the winner. Gross' back-post cross was met by defender Jack Hinshelwood, and the 18-year-old headed in his first Premier League goal to give the hosts the advantage. Adingra saw two fantastic late chances go begging for Brighton, who saw out the victory by keeping the Bees' blunt attack at arm's length for the rest of the game. Roberto De Zerbi's side climb up to seventh in the table, just two points below the European spots, while Brentford remain 11th following a third defeat in their last four matches.

WIDE!!! Janelt's ball into the middle serves as Brentford's last chance, and it's an audacious one too as Mee rises with an acrobatic volley that he pulls well wide of the post!

Pinnock clips an aerial ball towards the edge of the box, but Maupay stumbles as he tries to control it and ends up taking out Gilmour in the process! If any passage of play sums up Brentford's performance in this game, it's that one.

Milner plays in Gross down the left-hand side, who seems certain to have won a corner via Ghoddos or Onyeka, but has his protests waved away by the referee!

Five added minutes to play at the Amex, and having fallen a bit flat in the last few, Brentford have some task on their hands to try and rescue things from here!

Peart-Harris has taken over Roerslev's long throw-in role and launches one into the box, but it's easy enough for Gilmour and Van Hecke to head clear.

WIDE!!! Initially dispossessed after taking too long on the ball, it comes back to Adingra on the edge of the box and he drills a low effort inches wide of the upright, with Flekken rooted to the spot!

SAVED!!! Pinnock is first to Gilmour's corner and heads the ball away from the area, but Adingra thumps it right back towards goal with a sweetly-struck volley that Flekken tips around the post!
