Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of Brighton and Bournemouth in the Premier League lunch time kick-off. It's that time of the year when managers complain about fixture congestion but for the football supporters we love it, don't we? And what better way to kick off another day than a good old relegation scrap. Both clubs are locked on 20 points, just two ahead of the relegation zone. It's a six-pointer at the Amex.

There's still signs of nervousness inside the Amex despite the fact the hosts hold a two-goal lead with just a couple of minutes remaining.

Shot! Mooy involved again as he links up with Maupay who shoots from 25 yards but it's straight down the throat of the goalkeeper.

GOAL! Brighton 2-0 Bournemouth (Mooy): This has been coming. Shades of Dennis Bergkamp as Mooy takes the ball on his chest, allows the ball to drop before taking a touch and firing it past the helpless Ramsdale. What a goal from a special player.

Disappointment for the home supporters as VAR rules no penalty to Brighton. Meanwhile, Stacey is back on after leaving the pitch for some treatment.
75'
There is a huge appeal for a Stacey handball inside the Bournemouth penalty area but referee Paul Tierney signals play on. It's going to be checked by VAR, though.

Bournemouth sub: Lewis Cook replaces King.

How cruel would it be on Brighton if the Cherries were able to salvage a draw this afternoon? Thanks to VAR, the game remains in the balance.

Yellow card! Billing goes into the book for a rash foul. Bournemouth are getting overrun in midfield at the moment.

Off the post! Brighton are in a rush to put this game to bed now. Bissouma goes on a lung-busting run only to strike the post with Ramsdale beaten.
63'
Close! Mooy catches a shot sweetly from 30 yards and it's just wide of Ramsdale's left-hand post. Inches wide. Meanwhile, Bournemouth make a double sub: Callum Wilson and Ryan Fraser replace Harry Wilson and Stanislas.
