Brighton 1-1 HuddersfieldHuddersfield claimed a potentially crucial point in their battle against relegation as they drew with 10-man Brighton at the Amex Stadium in a game that saw both sides end their recent goal droughts. The Seagulls and the Terriers are hoping to secure another season of top-flight football after they were promoted from the Championship last year and three points in this game would have gone a long way to making that a reality. Brighton took the lead when the ball rebounded off Huddersfield goalkeeper Jonas Lossl's head after he had pushed Solly March's shot onto the post. Huddersfield responded almost immediately as Steve Mounie pounced on Shane Duffy's terrible back pass to slot in. The visitors' hopes of snatching victory were then boosted when Brighton midfielder Davy Propper was sent off for a late challenge on Jonathan Hogg. However, it was the hosts who could have taken the three points at the end when Jose Izquierdo was put through on goal - but the forward was superbly denied by Lossl. The draw means Brighton are 13th, seven points above the relegation zone, while Huddersfield are 16th and four points above 18th-placed Southampton. BBC
