MAN OF THE MATCH?

Brighton fight back to beat Burnley

Neal Maupay and Alexis Mac Allister scored quickfire second-half goals as Brighton & Hove Albion came from behind to beat Burnley 2-1 at Turf Moor.

James Tarkowski gave Burnley the lead after just two minutes, meeting Ashley Westwood’s corner with a powerful header.

The Clarets almost had a second on 35 minutes as Brighton goalkeeper Robert Sanchez struggled to deal with another corner, but Ben Mee could only head against the crossbar.

Brighton pressed for an equaliser after the break and it came on 73 minutes when Maupay converted a cross from substitute Jakub Moder.

The Seagulls then got the winner just five minutes later, Mac Allister coming off the bench and promptly getting on the end of a cross from Pascal Gross, beating Nick Pope.
