Alireza Jahanbakhsh and Aaron Mooy scored their first goals for the club as Brighton & Hove Albion secured a 2-0 win against AFC Bournemouth.

Joshua King was denied by Mat Ryan at the other end in an open first half.

In the second half Dan Burn had a goal overturned after the VAR adjudged him to have been in an offside position in the build-up, while Yves Bissouma hit the post.

Brighton's pressure paid off in the 79th minute when Leandro Trossard exquisitely found the impressive Mooy, who turned in the area and steered a curling shot into the far corner.
