OVER!!! Brighton are straight back on the hunt for a third and Buonanotte's cross finds Pedro in the box. He brings the ball down and tries an ambitious bicycle kick, but sends his shot miles over the bar!

BLOCKED!!! Onyeka gets the better of Gross to steal the ball in the box and play it across to Maupay. His shot deflects back off Igor, and the follow-up from Wissa strikes an unsuspecting Steele and it's cleared off the line by Balepa!

SAVED!!! Adingra dispossesses Ghoddos and bursts down the byline to cross for Pedro, whose first time shot is saved brilliantly by Flekken! The rebound drops to Adingra, who also fires goalwards from close range, but he's flagged for offside just as the goalkeeper makes another strong parry!

CHANCE!!! Gross slips a delightful throughball behind the defence for Mitoma to latch onto, and he drags it back for Pedro. His early shot takes a deflection and is parried by a stranded Flekken, before Onyeka scrambles the ball clear!

Switching from right-back to left-back in Brighton's XI, Gross has still been popping up all over the pitch, firing in the equaliser from the edge of the box and putting an earlier effort wide of the target. The Germany international has also completed 22 passes from six final third entries, and has the most touches of any player on the pitch. He's been successful in four of his even duels so far, winning half of these in the final third with two well-timed tackles. Key.
