Wide! Gross works the corner short, and Lallana is eventually found in an inside-left position. His cross takes a wicked deflection off Robinson and goes just wide of the near post with Leno stranded.

Baleba does brilliantly to manoeuvre away from Palhinha as Brighton advance into the Fulham half again. Dahoud latches onto Mitoma's pass down the left to win a corner, crossing behind off Ream.

There was a brief VAR check to ascertain whether Palhinha's challenge was red-card worthy, and Gross is still deep in conversation with the referee. It was quickly cleared by the officials, but that was – at the very least – reckless from Palhinha.

The home fans aren't happy at all here. Palhinha leaves Gross in a heap on the edge of the Fulham area with a reckless challenge. The Fulham man is lucky not to concede a foul after appearing to lead with his arm.

Brighton have definitely upped the ante in the last 10 minutes or so, carving out two or three excellent opportunities. But for now, Fulham remain on level terms.

CHANCE! Lallana pulls wide to combine with Dahoud, who releases Mitoma into the box with a terrific backheel. Mitoma appears to get caught in two minds as he bears down on Leno with options in the middle, and his cross-shot is well wide!
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham
Fulham have only played more Premier League games against Norwich City (eight) without ever losing than they have against Brighton, doing the double over the Seagulls in 2022-23.

Brighton are finding their groove. Ferguson flicks it into Lallana with the outside of his boot, and the former Liverpool man lays it off for the lively Adingra to shoot over the bar from 25 yards out. It's a disappointing finish, but the approach play was good.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham
Over! Mitoma beats Castagne a total of three times with a trademark, jinking run down the wing. His cutback finds Lallana, who in turn offloads for Baleba, but the recent arrival hammers his shot over the crossbar from the edge of the area.
