Minute
Description
54'
Gosling catches Propper on the ankle with a high boot as both players look to take a ball under control, and the Brighton players are furious at the lack of a booking for the midfielder.
52'
Brighton have a free-kick near the left corner flag in Bournemouth's half as Gosling is penalised for handball. It's a dangerous position for the delivery, but the Cherries just about deal with it.
46'
We're back under way for the second half!
45' +1
HALF-TIME: BRIGHTON 1-0 BOURNEMOUTH
45'
Brighton break again after weathering a spell of sustained Bournemouth pressure and Jahanbakhsh cuts in off the right before thumping a left-footed effort at goal from outside the box, but it's blocked and then hacked away by Stacey.
43'
A long ball is pinged up for Maupay to chase, and he reaches it just inside the box, but his left-footed half-volley is scruffy under pressure and it's a simple take for Ramsdale.
41'
Solanke releases Stacey into the box with a lovely throughball, but instead of cutting back to Harry Wilson, he lofts a cross to nobody and the chance goes begging! The right-back was the wrong side of his marker and should have found a much more precise pass.
34'
Burn gallops down the left and cuts the ball back to Maupay in the box, but his first touch lets him down and the ball is hacked away.
32'
A disjointed Bournemouth attack breaks down once again and Brighton break with purpose, knocking the ball forward for Maupay to chase. Ramsdale comes to the edge of his box to gather, but is forced into an awkward half-clearance that culminates in Mepham having to turn Jahanbakhsh's cross behind for a corner.
30'
A corner is half-cleared to Jahanbakhsh on the left, but this time he leans back and balloons his effort into the stands.
28'
Conversely, Brighton have been much more efficient in the execution of their game-plan so far today, and they have been the better side so far.
26'
Bournemouth have been a little sloppy in possession so far. There have been a few loose touches when playing out from the back or probing for an opening in the final third and it has caused a lack of coherence in their build-up.
24'
Brighton's wingers appear to have been given the license to switch flanks by Potter, and have done so with regularity so far.
22'
S. Cook gets yellow.
Steve Cook bundles Maupay over to prevent a Brighton counter after Billing gave the ball away high up the field.
18'
Brighton have certainly been on top in the early stages, but both sides look at their most dangerous on the break, with Maupay and King leading counter-attacks for their respective teams.
14'
This game has been end-to-end since the first whistle, but Brighton are now noticeably trying to gain control of the tempo, given their early advantage.
12'
Maupay certainly hasn't been afraid to pull the trigger today, and he thumps another effort wide of the target, this time from distance to the left of goal.
8'
Maupay then blazes over from an improbable position outside the box as Brighton look to counter.
5'
Brighton win a corner and it's floated towards Duffy at the back post, but it's just headed away from him by Mepham.
3'
A. Jahanbakhsh has scored a goal for Brighton & Hove Albion! Assist by N. Maupay.
GOAL!! JAHANBAKHSH GIVES BRIGHTON AN EARLY LEAD! It's the winger's first goal for the club and it's a fine finish, lashed into the bottom-right corner after Maupay played the ball back to him just inside the box. It's 1-0 to Brighton!
Maupay did well to hold onto the ball in a crowded box, driving the defenders back before playing the ball back to Jahanbakhsh, who had come in off the wing.
