WHO'S GOING TO BE YOUR

MAN OF THE MATCH?

Match summary

Adrian Mariappa's own goal salvaged a 1-1 draw for Brighton & Hove Albion against Watford that leaves the Hornets in the bottom three.

Abdoulaye Doucoure opened the scoring after 19 minutes, driving forward from just inside the Brighton half before firing past Mat Ryan from 18 yards.

Aaron Mooy was denied superbly by the feet of Ben Foster moments before Mariappa turned the ball into his own net from Brighton substitute Alireza Jahanbakhsh's cross with 12 minutes remaining.

Leandro Trossard could only flick the ball over the crossbar late on as both teams had to settle for a point.

Brighton remain 15th with 27 points, three clear of 19th-placed Watford.
