Brighton 0-0 Bournemouth Alan Smith Former Arsenal forward on Sky Sports You feel Bournemouth's poor away form does affect confidence. You can see it in the players out there. They're a little bit tentative. Brighton 0-0 Bournemouth Brighton with 84% of the ball so far. Brighton 0-0 Bournemouth It has been a very good start from the hosts here. The home fans call hopefully for a penalty after Brajan Gruda goes down on the edge of the penalty area, with Marcos Senesi in close attention, but nothing given and tellingly none of the players were that excited by it. Brighton 0-0 Bournemouth That short corner for Brighton ends with a shot on target from Brajan Gruda on the edge of the penalty area and he hits it well left footed. But Djordje Petrovic gets down well to his right to parry the shot, although he would have been massively disappointed to have been beaten by that one. Brighton 0-0 Bournemouth Alan Smith Former Arsenal forward on Sky Sports Brighton have settled into this match really well. They've seen the majority of the ball and are really starting to find a rhythm.

This video can not be played Stunning late goal earns Brighton draw against Bournemouth At a glance Marcus Tavernier's first-half penalty put the Cherries ahead Spot-kick awarded after referee Paul Tierney consulted VAR Substitute Charalampos Kostoulas scores stunning equaliser in added time PLAYER RATER Brighton teenager Charalampos Kostoulas scored a stunning overhead kick in stoppage time to deny Bournemouth a rare away victory in the Premier League. Marcus Tavernier thought his first-half penalty - awarded after an intervention from the video assistant referee - had earned the Cherries only a second away victory of the Premier League season. But 18-year-old Kostoulas netted in the 91st minute to steal a share of the points for the hosts. Brighton made a fast start on home soil and wasted no time in testing Djordje Petrovic with efforts from Ferdi Kadioglu, Brajan Gruda and Jack Hinshelwood. However, it was the Cherries who broke the deadlock in the 32nd-minute when Tavernier squeezed his penalty past goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen. After a lightning-quick counter-attack, led by the Englishman, Bournemouth were belatedly awarded the spot-kick after Amine Adli was clipped by the right foot of goalkeeper. The forward was originally shown a yellow card for simulation but that was rescinded and a penalty was awarded after referee Paul Tierney reviewed the incident on the pitchside monitor. Record signing Evanilson went close to doubling his side's lead seven minutes before half-time when he clipped the post - as he chased a third goal in as many Premier League games. Brighton dominated possession in the second half and upped the ante when Yankuba Minteh, Carlos Baleba and Georginio Rutter were introduced in the 66th minute. And in the second of eight added minutes, substitute Kostoulas netted spectacularly to deny Bournemouth a first Premier League away victory since August. The draws means both sides stay where they were in the Premier League table - Brighton in 12th and Bournemouth in 15th. Saved by 'special talent' - but did penalty award wrong Brighton? Have your say on Brighton's performance What did you make of Bournemouth's display? This video can not be played Brighton equaliser more than deserved - Hurzeler Before the game, head coach Fabian Hurzeler said Brighton would need to treat their remaining Premier League games as "finals" if they were to qualify for Europe. Although the German's comment was slightly hyperbolic, he will be delighted with his side's spirit after the Seagulls battled until the 91st minute to extend their unbeaten run across all competitions to five games. The point keeps Brighton within touching reach of Chelsea, who currently occupy the Premier League's sixth and final European slot, before favourable match-ups against Fulham, Everton and Crystal Palace. The club’s quest to qualify for Europe for only the second time will be boosted by the returns of Yankuba Minteh and Carlos Baleba, two players crucial to Hurzeler's plans and absent from recent Premier League matches. Prior to Minteh's introduction, Brighton looked out of sorts and failed to really test Djordje Petrovic between the sticks In a game of few chances, it was the Gambia international who, prior to Charalampos Kostoulas' equaliser, provided the spark for his side. In the end, a point flattered Brighton after a lacklustre performance Hurzeler wouldn't have seen coming when he issued a battle cry to his side at the end of last week. But Brighton's refusal to accept defeat could prove valuable come the business end of the season – and that alone will please Hurzeler. This video can not be played Late goal very harsh on Bournemouth - Iraola If there were Bournemouth fans fearing the worst when talisman Antoine Semenyo left the club to join Manchester City earlier this month, this performance from the Cherries is proof that there is still a lot to be optimistic about on the south coast. In his side's first Premier League outing since the forward's £65m transfer to Etihad Stadium, Andoni Iraola handed Adli only his fourth Premier League start since joining from Bayer Leverkusen last August. The Morocco international was lively throughout the night and was able to earn his side a penalty with his speed and willingness to break into the box during the first half. On the other flank, the skill and trickery of Eli Junior Kroupi, one of the breakout stars of the Premier League season, although not at his scintillating best, served as another reminded that Bournemouth still possess plenty of quality in attack. But the sight of goalscorer Tavernier being replaced by veteran full-back Adam Smith in the 71st minute was a sobering reminder that Bournemouth are short on quantity - and are in urgent need of attacking reinforcements before the transfer window closes on 2 February. Tavernier departed the pitch at the same time as Kroupi and from there, only Brighton looked like scoring. It was a disappointing way for Bournemouth's night to end after an impressive performance on the road. But after Iraola called for more players to be added to his squad this month, he could use this match as evidence to present to the club's board to back up his point. Brighton are next in action against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Saturday, 24 January (15: 00 GMT). Bournemouth, meanwhile, welcome Liverpool to the Vitality Stadium on Saturday, 24 January (17: 30).

Following their 2-1 win at the Vitality Stadium in September, Bournemouth are looking to complete just their second Premier League double over Brighton after 2018-19. Brighton have lost just two of their last 18 Premier League home games (W10 D6), with both defeats in that time coming against Aston Villa. Bournemouth’s 3-2 win against Spurs last time out ended their 11-game winless run in the Premier League (D5 L6). They last won consecutive league games in August, a run of three with the last two coming against Spurs and Brighton respectively. Only Aston Villa (12) have scored more goals from outside the box in the Premier League than Bournemouth this season, with the Cherries’ 11 already their most in a single top-flight campaign. Brighton have avoided defeat in more different games when conceding first than any other side in the Premier League this season (7 – W3 D4). Meanwhile, no side has failed to win more different games when scoring first this term than Bournemouth (6 – D4 L2). Brighton have both scored and conceded in 41 of their 59 Premier League games under Fabian Hürzeler, a ratio of 69. 5% - the highest of any manager to take charge of 50+ games in the competition’s history. Meanwhile, Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola ranks sixth-highest for this with 61. 9% (60/97). Brighton’s Kaoru Mitoma has scored more Premier League goals against Bournemouth than any other opponent (5). His next game will be his 100th in the competition, the third Japanese player to reach the milestone after Maya Yoshida (154) and Shinji Okazaki (114). Coming into this weekend’s games, only leading scorer Erling Haaland (133) has had more touches in the opposition box in the Premier League this season than Brighton’s Yankuba Minteh (124). 19-year-old Junior Kroupi has scored seven Premier League goals for Bournemouth this season. Only four non-British teenagers have netted more in a single campaign – Nicolas Anelka in 1998-99 (13), Robbie Keane in 1999-00 (12), Romelu Lukaku in 2012-13 (14) and Kelechi Iheanacho in 2015-16 (8).
