Albion looked set to be frustrated by the Cottagers once again, having never beaten them in nine previous attempts.

Neither side could really find their rhythm throughout but Brighton did look the most likely to grab the winner after having two goals ruled out due to offside in the second half. Pedro showed no sign of nerves as he stood atop of the ball from 12 yards out and he dispatched coolly into the corner to land Brighton's first-ever Premier League win over Fulham.
