Half-Time Report: Lewis Grabban penalty puts Bournemouth ahead at Brighton

Grabban penalty puts Cherries ahead

Brighton and Hove Albion head into the break a goal down against Bournemouth after a controversial penalty from Lewis Grabban.

In the 13th minute, Inigo Calderon fouled Marc Pugh in the box. Despite protests from the Brighton players, the spot kick was converted by Grabban to put the Cherries into the lead.

Leonardo Ulloa attempted to equalise immediately for the home side, but his shot was comfortably saved.

Brighton were dominant after conceding the goal, getting plenty of chances in, but were unable to pull level.
