From that Brighton chance, Fulham counter and win a corner down the right-hand side. It's crossed in by Pereira, but the ball is too close to Sanchez and the Seagulls 'keeper claims it with ease.

SAVED!!! A ball into the box from Gross is clipped away by Robinson, but it's headed back forward for Brighton. Mac Allister meets it with a well-struck volley on the turn, but Leno hardly has to move to hold the ball in his grasp as he saves!

CHANCE!!! Brighton win a free-kick and a low pass in behind frees up Estupinan. He cuts the ball back from the byline, but Leno and Tete get there first with the latter putting it behind for a corner!
