BLOCKED!!! Fulham charge up the other end and Willian cuts inside in the box. He goes for goal, but the ball strikes March in the back and bounces behind for a Cottagers corner!

BALL IN THE NET!!! Another Brighton corner is whipped into the area, and a towering header from Webster sends the ball goalwards. March darts in at the back post to prod the ball in, but he's a mile offside and is flagged accordingly!

Palhinha is down in the centre of his own box after a collision with Ream, at a corner, but is eventually cleared to carry on and we can get back up and running.

Brighton want a penalty after Veltman is tripped in the box attempting to meet Mitoma's square pass, but the full-back tripped over Robinson's trailing leg, rather than being tripped by the defender, and so the referee waves away any appeals.

That deflected effort was Fulham's first of this half, and of the game in total. Brighton have already matched that total in the second period alone, recording eight overall so far.

Fulham break up the other end through Willian, who finds Pereira centrally. The Brazilian shoots from 25 yards, but a deflection takes the pace out of the shot and Sanchez is easily able to collect.
