WHO'S GOING TO BE YOUR

MAN OF THE MATCH?

Sanchez stars as Brighton continue unbeaten run

Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez was the hero for Brighton & Hove Albion as they went a fifth match unbeaten with a 1-1 draw at Burnley.

Sanchez denied Dwight McNeil's free-kick and saved an effort from James Tarkowski during the first half.

Brighton went ahead on 36 minutes when Pascal Gross’s corner was headed in by Lewis Dunk.

Sanchez was on hand again to ensure Brighton went into the break in front when he kept out McNeil’s curling effort.

Burnley’s perseverance paid off with an equaliser on 53 minutes. Erik Pieters' shot was saved by Sanchez but fell to Johann Gudmundsson, who drilled in his first goal of the season.

Matej Vydra drew another save from Sanchez on 71 minutes as Brighton successfully soaked up pressure from the hosts for a point that takes them to 25 in total, staying in 15th.

Burnley move on to 23 points in 17th.
