What an impact Ibe has had on this game. Introduced on 65 minutes, he has laid on two goals in just eight minutes to completely turn this match around.

Meanwhile, Gross is down injured and will have to go off for treatment. Brighton are down to 10 men for now.

70'

SO CLOSE!

Brighton make a mess of a clearance, gifting Ibe a clear sight of goal inside the penalty area. However, a HEROIC block from Dunk steers his goal-bound volley over the bar.

68'

Indeed, that was Ibe's first contribution since his introduction.

67'

GOAL! Bournemouth 1-1 Brighton

Curse of the commentator as Ibe plays a vital role in securing Bournemouth's equaliser! The former Liverpool playmaker plays a neat pass into the path of Surman who keeps it cool and slides it beyond Ryan.
