Classy Ferguson nets again but Brighton held by Fulham
Joao Palhinha scored a stunning equaliser as Fulham held Brighton to a 1-1 draw at the Amex Stadium. The Seagulls were the better team in the early stages and were rewarded through Evan Ferguson's neat finish before Palhinha's superb strike secured a point for the Londoners. The result extended Brighton's winless run to three as they rued missed chances in front of goal. Roberto De Zerbi's side showed little signs of fatigue following Thursday's 2-0 Europa League win over Ajax and nearly took an early lead. Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno kept out Carlos Baleba's shot from range in the seventh minute and saved Simon Adingra's effort inside the six-yard box moments later to keep it 0-0. Baleba was pulling the strings for Brighton as his vision and inch-perfect passes picked out the pacey Adingra, who enjoyed runs into space. The hosts got the goal they deserved after 26 minutes. Igor Julio drove the Seagulls up the pitch and when Ferguson retrieved the ball outside the box he showed excellent composure to slide the ball past Leno with his left foot into the bottom corner.
