AFC Bournemouth vs Brighton & Hove Albion LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Vitality Stadium
Follow live coverage as AFC Bournemouth face Brighton & Hove Albion today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

Bournemouth enjoy a good phase of possession with Brighton sitting very deep. But once again, the Cherries waste another attacking move and Brighton don't need to do much to keep them at bay.

Despite having more possession and now also having one player more on the pitch than their opponents, Bournemouth are looking nowhere close to making something happen in this game. Time is running out quite quickly for them and Brighton seem happy to just keep the ball whenever they win it and are trying to slow down the game when possible.

Save from Verbruggen! Semenyo fires a low shot towards goal from just inside the box, but his attempt is saved by the Brighton keeper and is out for a Bournemouth corner. The corner-kick coming in from the left is easily dealt with by the Brighton defence.

Bournemouth have again done better in terms of making 16 final third entries already in the second half to only four from Brighton, but they are still without a goal while the Seagulls have managed to double their lead.
