Goal Solomon Benjamin March

The cross comes in from March and it clears everyone in the middle. Mitoa is unmarked on the far side, and it bounces up nicely in front of him. He hits the half-volley, but sends it sailing over the bar.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Luton Town
Brighton have only failed to score in one of their last 28 Premier League matches, netting in each of their last 16 in a row since a 1-0 home defeat to Fulham in February. It's the Seagulls' longest scoring run in league football since a run of 22 between March and September 2011.

GOOD SAVE! It's spread out to the left again to Mitoma, who helps it to Pedro as he makes the overlapping run. He curls a cross in for Welbeck, who hits the shot first time, but Kaminski stretches to tip it away as the offside flag goes up.

Dahoud slips and it allows Adebayo to poke it forward for Mpanzu to drive down the left. He cuts inside and tries to go for goal himself, but it's blocked by Van Hecke.

GOOD CHANCE! Kabore has acres of space down the right, and this time, he does pick out a team-mate with his cross. Mpanzu makes a late run to the far post, but he thumps his header wide.

It's patient play from Brighton as they play it between their defenders, trying to draw Luton out of their shape. The visitors are happy for them to keep it for now though.
