Premier League: Brighton edge out Nottingham Forest, Justin Kluivert seals unique goalscoring feat in Bournemouth win

A Joao Pedro double helped end Brighton’s six-match winless run in the Premier League with a hard-fought 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest.

Anthony Elanga gave the Seagulls that sinking feeling after heading home from Morgan Gibbs-White’s cross in just the third minute, and Roberto De Zerbi’s injury woes were compounded by the withdrawals of Ansu Fati and Tariq Lamptey.

However, Evan Ferguson helped to lift the gloom with a clinical finish from the edge of the box after being picked out by Pascal Gross.

The German turned provider again in first-half stoppage-time, this time for Pedro to power home a close-range header to turn the match on its head.

Pedro doubled his tally from the penalty spot after being pulled down in the box.

The visitors’ nerves were shredded when Lewis Dunk was shown two yellow cards in quick succession after bringing Callum Hudson-Odoi down inside the box, and Gibbs-White halved the deficit from the spot, but Forest couldnn't get back on terms.

Having shipped goals at both ends of the pitch, this is a 17th consecutive Premier League game in which Brighton have scored and conceded.

Meanwhile, Justin Kluivert became only the third player to ever score in the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga after finding the net in a comfortable 3-1 win for Bournemouth over Sheffield United.

Marcus Tavernier broke the deadlock with a clinical finish from Antoine Semenyo's cross, before Kluivert doubled the Cherries' advantage just before half-time, after capitalising on a horrible mistake by Wes Foderingham in the Blades goal.

Tavernier added his second and Bournemouth's third seven minutes after the re-start, as he coolly placed Adam Smith's cross beyond Foderingham, before Ollie McBurnie netted a late consolation for the hosts.

Luton claimed a first-ever Premier League home win after beating Crystal Palace 2-1 at Kenilworth Road, thanks to goals from Teden Mengi and Jacob Brown.

Osmane Edouard had an opener ruled out for handball by VAR, before Mengi broke the deadlock in the 72nd minute for the Hatters.

Palace levelled the scores just two minutes later through Michael Olise's brilliant solo effort, but the hosts had the last laugh when Brown superbly prodded home Chiedozie Ogbene’s pass.

It was a bruising day for Roy Hodgson's side, with Cheick Doucoure and Eberechi Eze both forced off injured.

Burnley were denied a first home triumph of the season, with Tomas Soucek’s stoppage-time strike sealing all three points for West Ham in a 2-1 win at Turf Moor.

Jay Rodriguez ended a run of 11 games without a goal to break the deadlock for The Clarets from the penalty spot.

However, the visitors' late comeback began in the 86th minute when Divin Mubamba's finish took a decisive deflection off Dara O'Shea for an own-goal, before Kudus teed up Soucek for a brilliant back-post volley.
