Fulham vs Brighton & Hove Albion LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Live action from Craven Cottage as Brighton look to continue their good start to the new season against newly-promoted Fulham
Aleksandar Mitrovic struck again for Fulham as they brought Brighton’s unbeaten start to the season to an end with a 2-1 win at Craven Cottage.
The Serbia forward had already exceeded his tally of three in Fulham’s last Premier League season and he netted his fifth of the new campaign shortly after half-time to break the deadlock.
The hosts added another almost immediately afterwards when Lewis Dunk turned an Andreas Pereira cross into his own net.
Last time the sides met in the top flight during the 2020-21 season, they played out two goalless draws and they looked on course to do so again when the first half finished without a breakthrough, before Mitrovic’s opener.
The result leaves Fulham with eight points after an impressive start to the campaign which kicked off with a surprising draw against Liverpool on the first weekend.

CHANCE!!! Almost another Brighton horror show as Sanchez comes for a De Cordova-Reid cross, misses it, and Kebano can shoot! It's a first-time volley on the turn, and he can't quite get it on target as it sails over the bar!

GOOOAAALLL!!! Brighton are back in it!!! Mac Allister steps up and slots the ball into the bottom left corner, wrongfooting Leno in the process, and it's game on at 2-1!

We're off to the VAR screen to check for a possible penalty! De Cordova-Reid looks to have caught Estupinan in the box, causing the collision between him and Gross, and the referee points to the spot! Penalty coming up for the visitors!
