This was Brighton's heaviest league defeat since a 9-0 loss at Middlesbrough on the opening day of the 1958-59 season.
Lewis Dunk has scored seven own goals in the Premier League, with only Richard Dunne (10) putting through his own net on more occasions in the competition's history.
Since the start of their first Premier League campaign in 2017-18, Brighton have scored more own goals than any other side (19).

Sutton's predictions: Nottingham Forest v Brightonpublished at 18:25 31 January

I got talking to a Nottingham Forest fan, a lawyer called Mr Gooch, at Birmingham New Street Station on my way back from covering Aston Villa versus Celtic.
He was having a bit of banter with me about how I have suddenly become a Forest fan now they are doing well - so I asked him to give me a prediction for this game.
Mr Gooch has gone for a 2-2 draw, and his reasoning for not backing Forest to win is that Callum Hudson-Odoi is out and he has been a really integral part of their success this season.
To be honest, I am happy to take any help I can here, because Brighton have been so unpredictable this season.
They are a top-half team but their results have been quite up and down, and they have also drawn 10 games, more than any other top-flight side.
Like Mr Gooch, I thought this might end up being another draw. I would have gone for 1-1, but I am going to use his score instead.
He watches Forest every week so he is a proper fan, not someone who has jumped on the bandwagon like myself, so I will listen to him - although I may take legal action if he is wrong.

Brighton have scored the opening goal in 10 of their 12 Premier League away games this season (including in each of their past five), more than any other side.
Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest have gone 1-0 up in 18 of their 23 league games overall this term, the most in the division.
The average distance of Nottingham Forest's goal-kicks in the Premier League this season has been 43.7 metres, the highest of any side with 121 of those ending in the attacking half, 26 more than any other team.
By contrast, only three sides have taken goal-kicks at a shorter average distance than Brighton this campaign (23.4 metres).
Vidosic hopeful Noordam will play 'big part' for Brightonpublished at 11:14 31 January

Brighton boss Dario Vidosic hopes new signing Nadine Noordam will "play a big part" during the second half of the season.
The Dutch midfielder, 26, completed the move from Ajax on deadline day and Vidosic believes she will bring "a lot of quality" to Brighton's midfield.
"She's played in the in the Champions League, played for Ajax this season - competing for a title. So she's used to that sort of pressure," he said ahead of Brighton's game against Crystal Palace on Sunday (14:00 GMT kick-off).
"I'm hoping that she'll play a big part in this second part of the season and in the future."
Vidosic said Noordam has completed her medical, but the club are waiting for visa clearance before she can join the squad.
Here are more key lines from Vidosic's news conference:
He said it's "tough" in the January transfer window, but that he's "happy" with Brighton's business.
Vidosic is hopeful Fran Kirby will return to action soon.
The Brighton boss said it's up to other clubs to "bridge the gap" with Chelsea after they signed Naomi Girma for a world-record fee.
Brighton's mid-week 4-1 victory over Durham will "lift the confidence" for his side.
But Vidosic said they would not "fall into the trap of thinking they're at the bottom, this will be easy" against Crystal Palace.
Sell Mitoma 'for the right price' or 'he's far too valuable'?published at 10:21 31 January

We asked for your views on the news that Brighton had rejected a bid from Al-Nassr for Kaoru Mitoma and what it would take for Albion to sell the winger.
Here are some of your comments:
Peter: He is far too valuable to us to sell him even for £90m which some are saying is the improved offer. We wouldn't be able to replace him so late in the window. I don't get the impression he's money-driven anyway (and his career has not ended yet anyway !)
James: If we want to compete at the top, then we need to ensure we keep hold of high-value players. Money can only go so far. Take Southampton for example. They sold Van Dijk for £75m - look at them now. I'd rather have the quality Mitoma provides than the money.
Jezz: If Brighton sell Mitoma, they're done. It will show a total lack of ambition. Unless he wants to leave - and he's given no indication he does - we should reject all offers. He's our best player, he's also the fans favourite and one of the most popular in the squad. We'd also lose all our support in Japan, which is worth quite a bit in merchandise sales. All in all, it would be worse than letting Yves Bissouma, Moises Caicedo and Alexis Mac Allister go! He's that important. We shouldn't be selling any of our core players to be honest, not if we want to progress.
Nicolas: Selling Mitoma for the right (high) price isn't something I'm completely adverse to. Although we'd all love to hold onto him, no player is bigger than the team. We have so much talent on the wing, and we've seen success without him. We've also seen the impact that large sums of money from transfers can have on the club's dynamic. I'd love him to stay though, great talent and a great guy.
David: Would be sorry to see Mitoma go but for the right price, and I mean in excess of £100 million, then I don't see why we shouldn't cash in. He isn't such an unknown quantity anymore and while we see him shine against tactically naive teams like Manchester United, we have seen him tamed by teams like Brentford and Everton who know to stick two players on him and mark him out of the game. As for going mid season, we have seen Simon Adingra, Yankuba Minteh, Brajan Gruda and Solly March all playing on the wing this season so we have options. He was never likely to end his career with Brighton so now is as good a time as any for him to leave.
Mark: It's not about how much Mitoma is worth - it's about how much Al-Nassr are prepared to pay for him. If they offer Brighton silly money (and 90 million euros is being talked about), the Seagulls will let him go, particularly with Minteh, Adingra and March already on the books and the need for defensive cover more of a priority.
