Overview
- Alex Scott put Bournemouth ahead before half-time, Kaoru Mitoma equalised soon after the break, and Antoine Semenyo converted a 61st-minute penalty for the victory.
- Semenyo was involved in both goals for Bournemouth, assisting Scott’s opener and netting his third league goal of the season from the spot.
- The penalty was awarded after Evanilson went down under Jan Paul van Hecke's challenge, a decision questioned by pundits and an ex-Premier League referee.
- Brighton suffered early disruption as Jack Hinshelwood went off injured and Maxim De Cuyper was later replaced after being barged into the advertising boards.
- The result sealed Bournemouth’s third straight win to reach nine points, while Brighton remained on four points with continued issues in the final third.
