Brighton vs Aston Villa LIVE: Premier League result and final score after late Joao Pedro winner

HALF-TIME: BRIGHTON 0-0 ASTON VILLA

SUPER SAVE! Adingra plays Gross through one-on-one with Olsen, and the Brighton midfielder attempts to round the fast-closing Olsen and turn the ball in from close range; however, Villa's goalkeeper makes an excellent stop with his leg to stop the Seagulls going in front!

From just outside the area, on the right, Joao Pedro flips over a delightful ball towards the back post. Adingra stretches to meet it, but can't quite make clean contact and allows Olsen to easily claim the loose ball.

It has now been over half an hour since either side managed a shot at goal, as this tame encounter nears its halfway stage.

Due to a couple of injury stoppages, there will be at least five minutes of additional time at the end of this first half.

After a period of concern for Unai Emery, his second-choice goalkeeper is passed fit to continue. For now, Gauci's Premier League debut will have to wait.

CHANCE! When Welbeck tries to release Adingra through the centre of Villa's area, the latter collides with Olsen, who charges off his line to make a vital interception. The goalkeeper is left down on the ground nursing his shoulder, though, and will require medical attention.

Having lost their last two Premier League games by an aggregate score of 7-0, today's first half at least represents some improvement for Brighton. However, they still look toothless up front.

Veltman tees up Gross to deliver a trademark delivery from the right side of Villa's area, but Douglas Luiz intervenes to cut out the German's rather tame cutback.

There have been only five attempts at goal so far - Brighton lead the way with four - and the tempo of this game has dropped significantly since the break in play for Rogers' injury to be assessed.
