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.

And now Jahanbakhsh picks up Dunk's lovely diagonal ball, his reverse pass to Mooy splits the Bournemouth defence but his cross is blocked for a corner.
28'
Jahanbakhsh has been extremely lively and looks confident after his goal. He was brought in for big money and Graham Potter deserves credit for keeping faith in the forward.
27'
Jahanbakhsh races clear on the right but his low cross to the near post is hacked away by the Bournemouth defence.

Signs that Bournemouth beginning to find their groove now as they force a corner, but it comes to nothing.
23'
Bournemouth have scored 10 goals from set-pieces this season, the most in the Premier League. But a free-kick delivery from Rico on the left is easily defended by Brighton just now.

Solanke, who has just one goal in 56 Premier League appearances, is crowded out on the edge of the Brighton penalty area. With stats like that it is no wonder Eddie Howe's side are struggling for goals.
19'
Mooy delivers to the back post where Dunk climbs above his marker but his looping header is a straight forward save for Ramsdale.
18'
Brighton are playing very effectively on the break and they force another corner on the right.
16'
Mooy's inswinger is delicious but Ramsdale bravely comes through a crowd of players to punch it clear.
15'
There is an accidental tangle of legs between Rico and Jahanbakhsh and the free-kick goes Brighton's way. To be taken on the right flank, this is an opportunity for the hosts to get their defenders forward.

Here's the moment Brighton broke the deadlock...

Bournemouth have settled a little and are seeing more of the ball now after a slow start.

Shot! Here's another encouraging break by Brighton. Mooy is the focal point of the majority of their attacks and it's the former Man City midfielder who drives his team forward once more, feeding Maupay who curls one over the bar from the edge of the penalty area.

Chances at both ends. Great stuff. Duffy is close to meeting a corner delivery at the far post but Ramsdale gets away with it. And then Bournemouth go on the attack, King is played through on goal but Ryan is equal to his effort. He didn't get enough power on it.
4'
You can see how much that meant to Jahanbakhsh. He's in tears after netting that goal.
