Comments:

League position: 16th Brighton and Hove Albion had now won four of their 25 games in the Premier League against a team in the relegation zone. 72 goals had now been scored in Albion's 33 games so far in this Premier League season (33 for, 39 against); fewer than any other team in the division except Fulham 68 and Burnley 71. The Seagulls had now taken 34 points from their 33 games so far in this Premier League season; two fewer points than at the same stage of the previous season. Jakub Moder scored after 56 minutes but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.
