WIDE!!! Brighton win another corner which is right on the money from Gilmour again, but Van Hecke's header from a late run into the six-yard box flashes wide of the near post!

As if conceding the equaliser wasn't bad enough for Brentford, their scorer and talisman in this game Mbeumo is down injured and doesn't look able to play any further part here. He's carried off with the slim hope of carrying on, but Yoane Wissa is being prepped to replace him regardless.

SAVED!! Adingra's cross from the right takes a deflection and drops nicely for Pedro, but his bullet header goalwards is saved and held by Flekken!

PENALTY!!! It's a stone-waller in Brentford's favour!! Baptiste and Janelt play a one-two in midfield and the German glides past two with the ball at his feet. He gets beyond in Van Hecke as he arrives in the box, but is dragged down by the Brighton defender and the referee points to the spot!

Another smart pass from Gilmour is launched cross-field and into Adingra at the far post, but it's a poor first touch from the Ivorian and the ball bounces behind for a goal-kick.
