90'+3'Brighton & Hove AlbionGoal

GOOAAALLL!!! HADJAM WINS IT FOR BRIGHTON! 2-0! It's a clinical finish from the substitute to secure the three points for Brighton. After Sunderland's constant pressure, the Seagulls counter, with Rutter threading it through to the Algerian. He has space down the left and takes a touch, then fires across goal, beating Roefs from the fine angle, scoring on his Premier League debut.

Time continues to tick away for Sunderland, as they struggle to find any creativity to beat the Brighton defence and create an opportunity for an equaliser. Andres lunges into a tackle on Xhaka, which leaves the Swiss midfielder clutching his ankle.
