Ten-man Brighton survive anxious finish to edge out BournemouthBy George Sessions, PABrighton endured a nervy finale but Joao Pedro’s fourth goal of the season helped them to a fine 2-1 win at Bournemouth to continue Fabian Hurzeler’s flying start to life in the Premier League. Pedro struck after four minutes and Kaoru Mitoma repeated the trick at the start of the second half to put the Seagulls in control. Hurzeler had demanded a quick start after a late comeback victory over Manchester City a fortnight ago and got his wish. It rocked Bournemouth but as both players got to grips with wet conditions the hosts slowly tried to fashion a response. It remained 1-0 at the break but not for long as Brighton grabbed a second in the 49th minute.
