Brighton responded to conceding the fastest goal in the English Premier League this season to beat 10-man Huddersfield 2-1 on Saturday.
Mathias Jorgensen headed Huddersfield in front after 55 seconds after a defensive mix-up but the hosts played the final hour with 10 men following the dismissal of striker Steve Mounie, who was handed a straight red card for a studs-up tackle.
Brighton equalized in first-half stoppage time through Shane Duffy's towering header and made its numerical advantage tell in the second period, with Romania striker Florin Andone's 69th-minute strike — his first goal in English soccer - clinching victory.
It was Brighton's first win in four league matches and lifted the south-coast team into 11th place.

Player to watch…
Aaron Mooy: The Australian was at his scintillating best against Wolves in David Wagner’s side’s 2-0 win. He bagged both goals, the first a brilliant strike from outside the box before curling in a free-kick delightfully in the second half. Huddersfield could potentially move up to 13th depending on other results and if they are to have any chance of that they will need their midfielder to be on-song once again.

Newcastle vs West Ham
West Ham have troubles at the back, only Fulham (0) have kept fewer clean sheets than them in the Premier League this season (1).
Can Newcastle capitalise on this weakness?
Crystal Palace vs Burnley
Palace created a number of chances in their last game against Man Utd, but a lack of an out and out goalscorer cost them the win.
Who will step up for them today?
