Brighton top after late fightback

Brighton came back from 2-0 down to beat 10-man Charlton and go back to the top of the Championship.

Charlton scored twice in the opening four minutes as Ademola Lookman and Reza Ghoochannejhad found the net.

James Wilson got one back for Brighton soon after half-time with a wonderful goal after a mazy run before Charlton's Patrick Bauer was sent off.

Bobby Zamora equalised from close range late on before Tomer Hemed headed in the winner a minute later.

Charlton shocked the Championship high-fliers with two devastating counter-attacks in the opening exchanges.

Fraeye on Brighton v Charlton

Lookman netted his first goal in just his fifth appearance as the highly rated 18-year-old picked up Ghoochannejhad's pass from the left, skipped past Bruno and fired high past David Stockdale at the near post.

Three minutes later Ghoochannejhad went from provider to scorer as the Addicks countered from a Brighton corner and Gudmundsson swung in a low cross for the Iran international to convert at the far post as Charlton scored twice away from home for the first time in the league this season.

It could have been three but for two fine saves from Stockdale as he kept out Ghoochannejhad's header and closed down Gudmundsson when the Icelandic international was one-on-one with him.

However, it was Brighton who came flying out after the break as Manchester United loanee Wilson scored on his full debut, dancing past three Charlton defenders before slotting home from 10 yards out before Solly March almost equalised as his shot was tipped on to the post by Stephen Henderson.

The game turned when Bauer was sent off with 30 minutes left after pulling back Zamora when he was through on goal, opening the floodgates for a host of Brighton chances.

It was not until the final few minutes that they took advantage as first Zamora converted from four yards out after good work from March on the left and then Israel international Hemed headed in the winner after coming off the bench.

The win extended Brighton's unbeaten start to their league campaign this season - they have now gone a club-record 20 games since their last league defeat.
