Brighton have dropped 20 points from winning positions this season, so this is far from over.

Harrison controls beautifully inside the penalty area but fails to generate enough power in the shot to beat Sanchez. This is a good reaction to falling behind from Leeds.
22'
A moment of miscommunication in the Brighton penalty area sees Sanchez and Veltman get in each other's way but the latter eventually scrambles it behind for a corner.
20'
Llorente spots Sanchez off his line and tries an ambitious lob from the halfway line, only he doesn't get the execution right and the Brighton goalkeeper can watch it drift harmlessly over his bar.
19'
As it stands, Brighton will move up to 14th, ten points clear of safety.
18'
Dallas gets in behind after a clever give-and-go with Klich, he rolls a cross into centre but Dunk makes a sliding intervention. That's Leeds' best moment of the afternoon so far.
15'
That's Brighton's first goal in six hours of playing time. They thoroughly deserve their lead.

GOAL! Brighton 1-0 Leeds (Pascal Gross, pen): A fantastic penalty from Gross, who tucks his penalty into the bottom corner, leaving Meslier with no chance. Brighton are ahead and are on course for what would be a crucial victory. A long, long way to go, though...

Penalty to Brighton! Alioski grabs a hold of Welbeck's leg and the Brighton forward goes down inside the box... the referee points to the spot.
12'
Brighton have made a positive start and now they win a free-kick in a wide position as Harrison clips the heels of Maupay.
9'
Brighton have some defending to do as Leeds win a free-kick, but Dunk is up to the task, heading behind at the expense of a corner.

Trossard gets another shot away, this time from distance, but it's straight forward for the Leeds goalkeeper.

Maupay squeezes a pass through the defence and into the path of Trossard. He can't get his shot away initially but cuts back onto his left foot and forces Meslier into a save.
5'
Roberts unlocks the Brighton defence with a pass using the outside of his boot to release Klich on the left flank, but the cross is poor and Brighton have a goal-kick.
3'
Koch is operating in a midfield role in the absence of Phillips. He'll be hoping to play a big part as Leeds look to extend their unbeaten run to seven league games.

Kick-off! The players and officials take the knee and then Leeds get us underway!

FIVE minutes until kick-off! It's Brighton versus Leeds in the Premier League. It's LIVE and it's NEXT!
14:50
Kalvin Phillips has picked up a knock behind his knee, Bielsa told Amazon Prime, although he didn't give any indication as to how serious it is. A concern for England boss Gareth Southgate.
14:45
Leeds are enjoying their first season back in the top-flight and if they win today, they could move to within just two points of eighth-placed Everton, who are still in with a shout for a Champions League spot.
14:40
Brighton are seven points clear of the relegation zone, but if they lose today and Fulham somehow beat Chelsea, then Potter's men could be in real danger. For all of their tidy football, they haven't won enough games this season.

Did you know? Brighton have won seven of their last eight league games against Leeds, with the exception being a 2-0 loss at Elland Road in March 2017.
