BRIGHTON THREATEN AGAIN
Quick passing easily carves open the visiting defence and Ward is forced t fly off his line and make a great stop with his legs to thwart Gross.
The flag was up for offside so it wouldn't have counted, but it remains of real concern at how shaky the Foxes are at the back.
29'
WARD AND NDIDI CLASH
Ward plays a howler of a pass towards Ndidi and Welbeck nips in. The forward is wide on the left and sees his clever attempt at the lob drop just over the bar.
Ndidi isn't impressed and Ward has his own view on it as they both argue heatedly.
It's not going well for the visitors. They are so open.

A PENNY FOR BRENDAN'S THOUGHTS?
Rodgers can be seen scribbling furiously into a small notepad on the touchline. His team flew out of the traps but it's been all about Brighton's hungry pressing ever since.

GOAL! BRIGHTON 2-1 LEICESTER CITY
The hosts have turned this around pretty quickly. Maddison gives the ball away cheaply, allowing Mwepu to charge at the Foxes defence before laying it to his right for Caicedo to arrive and arrow a low strike into the far corner.

THOMAS OWN GOAL?
Replays suggest March's header may not have been going on target and that Luke Thomas's touch was crucial. It could well go down as an OG.

LEICESTER CITY CHANCE
Iheanacho is found in acres of space on the right flank. He's allowed to jink inside but his low strike takes a wicked deflection and dribbles behind for a corner.
The resulting set pieces comes to nothing.

AN END TO END OPENING PERIOD
Both sides are looking to get forward at every opportunity which has made for an entertaining beginning to the contest.
