Title challengers and top four finishers are characterised by their consistency of wins - something Brighton, despite impressive performances, still lack. Fabian Hurzeler's side could have equalled their club record of three consecutive Premier League victories had they beaten Southampton here.

Brighton and Southampton played out a pulsating 1-1 draw at the Amex Stadium on Friday Night. It was a game that featured moments of brilliance, VAR controversy, and nearly 15 minutes of added time at the end of the match. Brighton dominated the early exchanges, and Kaoru Mitoma was at the heart of their attacking intent.

High-flying Brighton will lament leaving their shooting boots at home tonight after a frustrating 1-1 draw against fellow south coast outfit Southampton. Scorers: Mitoma 29'; Downes 59'In a match
