That snatch-and-grab victory from the visitors sees them leapfrog Brighton in the table, rising to sixth at the Seagulls' expense. They're now just a sole point behind fifth-placed Tottenham having played a game more, and Brighton are three points behind them with at least a game in hand on each of the two London sides above them.

Brighton were their own worst enemies in front of goal, but if they had found a breakthrough, there would've been no Seagull more deserving than Solly March. The wideman managed three shots from inside the box, totalling 0.28 xG, as well as 19 final-third passes, creating five big chances in the process. He contested a game-high 14 duels, winning eight with four successful dribbles from five, and also won possession six times with three tackles, albeit committing three fouls and winning one. Solly'd.

It's all over, and Fulham's late flourish sees them take all three points from a wasteful Brighton! The second half had all the chances, verve and drama that the first lacked, with a plethora of chances at both ends. Brighton were by far the dominant side though, calling Leno into action on several occasions to deny Mac Allister and Mitoma, with Lamptey and Dunk also going close to no avail. Fulham made their rare chance count though, as substitutes Vinicius and Solomon linked up for the latter to slam home the winner which sends Fulham above the Seagulls and firmly into European contention!

WIDE!!! What an equaliser that would've been!!! Mac Allister steps up to strike the free-kick from 27 yards, which beats both the wall and Leno before curling inches to the wrong side of the post! That'll be the last action of the game, as Brighton go oh so close yet again!

March turns on the edge of the box and looks to find Undav with a throughball into the area, but his pass is far too close to Leno and the goalkeeper smothers it.

Robinson attempts to keep the ball in play by the far corner flag, and wins a free-kick following a challenge from March which the Cottagers will be in no hurry to take...

We're beyond the 90, but there are SIX more minutes of added time to come. Is it enough for Brighton to find that all-elusive goal here?

Fulham have won 10 Premier League games this season, with only Arsenal, Man City, Man Utd and Tottenham winning more. It's their most wins in a top-flight campaign since 11 in 2012-13, and double the amount they won in their last Premier League season in 2020-21. Can they match that 2012-23 record with a late winner here?

WIDE!! Gross' cross from the right is flicked on at the near post by Undav, and his glancing header bounces agonisingly wide of the far post!

The Seagulls corner is headed down by Dunk, and March proceeds to shank a half-volley into the centre of the box. Undav gets his head to the bouncing ball, but can't generate anywhere near enough power to really trouble Leno.

16:43 , admin

Undav arrives on the left to help March out and takes a pass before whipping the ball into the area. Buonanotte closes in at the back post, but Ream gets the crucial touch to send the ball away and behind for yet another Brighton corner, their 10th of the match!

BALL IN THE NET!! Brighton are denied again!! Gross' clever throughball puts Mac Allister one-on-one with Leno, but he instead squares for Undav who slots the ball into the empty net!! The substitute was a fraction offside though, and the raised flag from the linesman on the far side means the goal will not stand!

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham

16:39 , admin

Brighton have already had 15 shots in this game, which is more than their average of 14.1 with 15 minutes still to play! They've netted 39 goals so far this term, just three less than their total for the whole of last season (42).

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham

16:37 , admin

OVER!!! Lamptey has switched to the right and darts between two before laying the ball off to Buonanotte. The youngster looks to pick his spot, and appears to have done so before curling a left-footed strike over the bar!

A good ball into feet from Mac Allister is met by Ferguson, who cuts across Ream in the box before firing a low shot straight at Leno!

16:30 , admin

SAVED!!! Mitoma is put into space and cuts inside from the left to take on Tete. He jinks onto his left foot and shoots towards the near post, but Leno sees it all the way and is able to hold the shot!

Brighton's corner is fired straight over the top and March recovers the ball on the left wing. He cuts inside to cross from the byline, but the ball takes a nick off Tete and sails into Leno's grasp.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham

16:29 , admin

Mitoma's throughball puts Lamptey into a hole down the left, but his threatening ball to the back post is knocked behind by Diop for another Brighton corner.

Play halts as Robinson is down in his own half, and the left-back receives lengthy treatment before returning to his feet.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham

16:26 , admin

OVER!!! Good play down the right from Brighton allows Caicedo to tee up Lamptey on the edge of the area, and the substitute's first touch sees him curl a first-time effort just over the crossbar!

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham

Mitoma takes on Tete once more and gets around the outside before cutting back in. He goes down under pressure in the box following Tete's challenge, but the referee waves away any shouts for a penalty!

SAVED!!! March, playing down the left in this half, races down that channel and whips a threatening ball into the box. It's volleyed goalwards at the front post by Mac Allister, but Leno makes a huge save to push it away, and the 20-yard follow up from Caicedo is dragged wide!!

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham

16:20 , admin

BLOCKED!!! Fulham charge up the other end and Willian cuts inside in the box. He goes for goal, but the ball strikes March in the back and bounces behind for a Cottagers corner!

BALL IN THE NET!!! Another Brighton corner is whipped into the area, and a towering header from Webster sends the ball goalwards. March darts in at the back post to prod the ball in, but he's a mile offside and is flagged accordingly!

Palhinha is down in the centre of his own box after a collision with Ream, at a corner, but is eventually cleared to carry on and we can get back up and running.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham

16:16 , admin

Brighton want a penalty after Veltman is tripped in the box attempting to meet Mitoma's square pass, but the full-back tripped over Robinson's trailing leg, rather than being tripped by the defender, and so the referee waves away any appeals.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham

16:15 , admin

That deflected effort was Fulham's first of this half, and of the game in total. Brighton have already matched that total in the second period alone, recording eight overall so far.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham

16:12 , admin

Fulham break up the other end through Willian, who finds Pereira centrally. The Brazilian shoots from 25 yards, but a deflection takes the pace out of the shot and Sanchez is easily able to collect.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham

16:12 , admin

WIDE!!! March's delivery is met by Dunk arriving late at the back post, but the Brighton captain sends his header a yard wide of the target!

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham

16:11 , admin

A ball down the left has Mitoma surging onto it, but Leno races across to knock the ball behind for a Brighton corner, the first of this second half.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham

16:09 , admin

Fulham did not attempt a single shot in the first half, and you get the feeling that the absence of Aleksandar Mitrovic has really stunted the Cottagers' plans in the final third of the pitch. De Cordova-Reid has been largely anonymous in his place thus far.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham

16:06 , admin

Ferguson kicks the second half off for Brighton, and we're back up and running at the Amex!

The teams are back on the pitch prior to the second half, and can either side find that moment of composure to break the deadlock here?

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham

16:03 , admin

Estupinan has been extremely lively up and down the left flank, and went close early with a deflected effort inside the box. He's created two chances so far, completing five touches in the box and final third entries apiece, with 12 passes and two crosses in this area of the pitch. He's won five of his nine duels, via three dribbles and two aerial duels, and has successfully won possesion six times, once coming in the final third. Engine.

A first half sparse of clear-cut goalscoring opportunities comes to an end, with both sides struggling to create much of note in very wet conditions at the Amex. Ferguson in particular looked lively early on, but has since had little to feed on up front, while a Mitrovic-less Fulham, have hardly had a touch in Brighton's box. The scrap in midfield has been very lively though, and you get the sense that the game will be won or lost in that area of the pitch with the second half to come.

HALF-TIME: BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION 0-0 FULHAM.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham

15:47 , admin

Estupinan crosses into the area from the sideline, but the ball takes a nick off Wilson and rolls straight into the waiting gloves of Leno.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham

15:46 , admin

BLOCKED!!! A clever flick from Mac Allister puts Ferguson in behind Robinson, and the striker shoots from a tight angle, with his effort taking a nick off Diop and deflecting over the bar!

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham

15:44 , admin

From that Brighton chance, Fulham counter and win a corner down the right-hand side. It's crossed in by Pereira, but the ball is too close to Sanchez and the Seagulls 'keeper claims it with ease.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham

15:42 , admin

SAVED!!! A ball into the box from Gross is clipped away by Robinson, but it's headed back forward for Brighton. Mac Allister meets it with a well-struck volley on the turn, but Leno hardly has to move to hold the ball in his grasp as he saves!

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham

15:41 , admin

CHANCE!!! Brighton win a free-kick and a low pass in behind frees up Estupinan. He cuts the ball back from the byline, but Leno and Tete get there first with the latter putting it behind for a corner!

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham

15:41 , admin

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham

Estupinan and Mitoma play a one-two down the left as Brighton attempt to find space in that channel, but the former's run into space from the return ball is halted as Mitoma fouled Wilson prior to his pass.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham

15:39 , admin

Caicedo is looking to move the ball forward at every possible opportunity for Brighton, but takes a heavy touch and slides in to catch Reed, gifting Fulham a free-kick in midfield.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham

15:36 , admin

March looks to flick the ball over the top from inside his own half, but the ball strikes Robinson on the arm and Brighton win a free-kick.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham

15:34 , admin

SAVED!!! Mac Allister slides in to knock the ball forward for Ferguson, who races after it before Leno, miles off his line, races out to swat the ball away before smothering it!

Brighton are unbeaten in their five Premier League games so far in 2023, winning three and drawing two. They last had a longer run without a league defeat at the start of a calendar year in 2012, not losing in 12 games on the spin.

BLOCKED!!! The free-kick is played across before a ball is clipped in towards the back post. Estupinan knocks it back from the byline, and Veltman's volley towards goal is deflected behind for a corner off Ream!

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham

15:30 , admin

It's becoming a great battle between March and Robinson down the near touchline, as the two come together again. This time Robinson illegally holds the Brighton man back as he tries to run down the line, and concedes a free-kick which will be crossed into the Fulham box.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham

15:28 , admin

Brighton have won their last two home games in the Premier League, beating Liverpool and Bournemouth by 3-0 and 1-0 scorelines respectively. They last won three in a row at home in November 2019, while they last won three in a row at home without conceding in the Championship in September 2015.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham

15:26 , admin

Fulham break down the left edge and Robinson knocks the ball ahead, looking to beat March, but the Brighton winger gets back to hold the US international off and usher the ball out for a goal kick.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham

15:25 , admin

The early chances in this game have given way to something of a scrap, particularly in the middle of the park. Both midfields have been extremely busy and frantic in the last few minutes, but the defences of either side are yet to really be troubled.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham

15:22 , admin

Following their 2-1 win at Craven Cottage in August, Fulham are looking to complete their first league double over Brighton since 1992-93, which came in the third tier of the Football League!

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham

15:20 , admin

Ream looks to clip a throughball for Robinson to chase, but the ball bounces off the back of the Fulham left-back and Brighton recover possession.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham

15:19 , admin

March dribbles into the area with options queuing up around the penalty spot, but Ream stands tall to win possession back and prevent the Seagulls cross coming in.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham

15:17 , admin

Mitoma and Wilson collide, leaving the Fulham winger on the deck in the centre circle. He's receiving treatment and should be okay to carry on, but heads off the field for further inspection before he can do so.

Another long pass has March searing after it, but Ream gets back in cover for Fulham and heads the ball back into the safety of Leno's gloves.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham

15:13 , admin

BLOCKED!!! Estupinan charges into open pasture and is found by a long diagonal ball. Dribbling into the box, he cuts inside and shoots, but Diop gets in the way to block the ball behind for a corner!

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham
