Struijk's stoppage-time header snatches a late point for Leeds in a 1-1 draw with Brighton. Welbeck put the Seagulls ahead with a lovely chipped effort in the first half after taking advantage of Llorente's hesitation, but Leeds kept pushing. Klich forced a great save out of Sanchez just before the break, and the keeper was called into action to deny Raphinha from a free-kick in the second half as well. Gelhardt also dragged a shot wide, but he set up the equaliser, lifting it into Struijk, who nodded in from close range.

CLOSE! We're still going here and Brighton work it upfield through Mac Allister. He tries to switch it to Lamptey, but Cooper slides in to intercept it. His clearance only goes to Lallana, who helps it onto Lamptey anyway. He drills a low shot across goal, and it's just wide.

Leeds have the belief that they can win this game now and they've only got seconds left on the clock. Raphinha puts a long throw-in into the box, but it's nodded away by Dunk before Welbeck helps it on.

There are huge shouts for a penalty from the home fans for a handball against Veltman! Gelhardt is at the centre of it again as he volleys a cross into the middle and it hits the defender. VAR has a quick check, but it's only a corner for Leeds.

Leeds win a corner, but it's another poor delivery from Raphinha as he hits the first man yet again. Brighton try to break quickly on the counter, but Welbeck has no one up with him.
