Brighton and Brentford split six-goal thriller, Wolves get huge point at Nottingham Forest in Premier League

Brighton escaped with a draw thanks to a late penalty in a 3-3 thriller against Brentford on a busy Premier League Saturday afternoon. The Seagulls had 33 shots and 74% of the ball but three times had to come from behind. Ad Pontus Jansson gave The Bees an early lead, powering home a header after a clever move from a Brentford throw-in after just 10 minutes.

The Bees ambushed Brighton at a throw deep in their own territory and England’s newest international swiftly converted the turnover of possession into a goal. Danny Welbeck leapt high to head home a Solly March cross in the 29th minute.

Bryan Mbeumo's free-kick caught Brighton's defence in two minds and fell directly to Ethan Pinnock. The defender had plenty of time to sweep home from close range to once again restore Brentford's lead. The Champions League chasing Seagulls continued to dominate the ball as they laid siege to the Brentford goal, but could not find an equaliser until Aaron Hickey was penalised for a handball in the 87th minute.

The defender's desperate block was not initially spotted, but VAR intervened to hand Brighton Seagulls a late chance at redemption. Alexis MacAllister stepped up to convert and claim a point for his side. Elsewhere, Nottingham Forest and Wolves drew 1-1 a match which had been billed as a relegation six-pointer.
