The south coast side went into the game second bottom in the league, having lost their first four fixtures and scored only once. Chris Hughton's side were ahead for 12 minutes before Bournemouth's Jordon Ibe changed the game. The influential former Liverpool attacker found South African midfielder Andrew Surman in the middle of the box, who finished in the far left corner of the Brighton goal. After securing their first ever Premier League win last week over West Bromwich Albion, Brighton found they relaxed too much after going in front against the run of play. Following that, Bournemouth travel to Everton in the league next weekend while 14th-placed Brighton host Newcastle United.
