Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford

We're locked up at 1-1 as the first half draws to a close, with a manic few minutes seeing Brentford take the lead and have it cancelled out just as quickly! The first 25 minutes were sparse of chances to say the least, with Gross' miss from close range the only move that looked anything like dangerous. All that changed though, when Van Hecke hauled down Janelt in the box, with Mbeumo slotting home the resultant penalty. Just four minutes later though, the hosts were level through Gross, who made up for his earlier miss with a sumptuous strike into the bottom corner. Headers from Pedro and Van Hecke barely troubled Flekken, while Mitoma fired over the top late in the half, as Brighton finished the stronger of the two sides despite a continual struggle to break Brentford down.

Brighton keep the ball well on the edge of the box and Pedro looks to take on Pinnock down the byline. He's dispossessed as he round the defender, but the last touch was Pinnock's and it's a corner to the Seagulls.

CHANCE!!! Under pressure from Pedro, Mee's loose pass is seized upon by Baleba, who sends it through the middle for Adingra to chase. He almost gets there first, but Ghoddos keeps pace with him brilliantly and slides in to scythe the ball away!

Adingra is hit late by Wissa and stays down with the referee playing advantage, as Gross cuts onto his right foot and has a shot blocked from 20 yards.

We'll play seven added minutes at the end of this first half, which is understandable given we've seen a penalty awarded and several injuries.

Following a free-kick for Mitoma's foul on Pinnock, Flekken punts the ball long and Maupay nods it down for Onyeka. He crosses back in from the right, but Baleba's block sends the ball behind for a corner.
