Charalampos Kostoulas produced a moment of magic deep into stoppage time as Brighton Hove Albion snatched a 1-1 draw against Bournemouth at the Amex Stadium, extending their strong Premier League home run to just two defeats in 19 matches stretching back to last season, Softfootball reports.
Fresh from a morale-boosting FA Cup third-round victory away at Manchester United last week , Brighton started with confidence and intent. Early chances followed, with Jack Hinshelwood forcing a deflection wide before Brajan Gruda tested Dorde Petrovic with a fierce effort from range in an open and lively opening spell.
Bournemouth gradually settled and began to ask questions of their own, despite this being their first league outing since the departure of star forward Antoine Semenyo, who completed a 65m move to Manchester City earlier in the winter window . The Cherries were rewarded just after the half-hour when VAR ruled that Bart Verbruggen had clipped Amine Adli in the box. Marcus Tavernier stepped up and calmly rolled the penalty into the corner to hand the visitors the lead.
