Brighton snatched a point with a stoppage-time penalty.

Referee Anthony Taylor adjudged Duffy to have been fouled by James Ward-Prowse and Glenn Murray made no mistake from the spot to force a 2-2 draw.

WHAT A STRIKE THAT IS!!!!

The ball breaks to Pierre-Emile Højbjerg a fair distance out on the right-hand side of the box, and the Danish midfielder uncorks a low drive that rifles it's way into the bottom corner past Mathew Ryan's outstretched right hand.

Yes, Jannik, we agree...

A break in play as Wesley Hoed is treated after taking a knock to the head after making a good challenge to halt Yves Bissouma's driving run. 1-0.

It hasn't been the best of halves, but Southampton grew into the game and hold a deserved lead thanks to Højbjerg's thunderous strike.

Harry Latham-Coyle17 September 2018 20:47

No alterations for either side at the interval and Southampton get the second half underway.

Brighton start, well, brightly, but Solly March down the left fails to get his head up and ends up playing a ball across the box with no teammates in the area.

A real chance for the visitors and Davy Propper. Initially it is March once more getting joy on the left, and when his ball across is put back into the area from the right Propper finds himself in acres of space but his header is comfortably wider.

Glenn Murray has been handled superbly by Southampton's powerful pairing at the back thus far. He thinks he is in from a flicked-on ball but he is correctly adjudged to be offside. 

Promising start to the half for Brighton and Chris Hughton may reconsider any changes he had planned for soon after the break.

An opportunity for 2-0. 

Shane Long gets in behind Shane Duffy and Lewis Dunk for the first time tonight and is clean through on goal. Mathew Ryan boldly rushes out and Long panics rather. His stab at the bouncing ball rolls comfortably wide.
