Ndiaye's deflected shot goes over the bar but this is a bit better from Stoke after the break.

If Brighton can hold on for the three points here it'll be absolutely massive for them - it's so tight and congested down at the bottom of the table - it'll do masses for their confidence too.

Stoke have been very poor, Brighton have gone there and have been on the front foot all afternoon. You'd certainly expect more from Stoke, on a day what a lot of people have described as a 'must win game'.

Lambert has made a change for the second half.

Saido Berahino is coming on - looks like Fletcher is going off and Stoke are going to a 4-4-2 formation. Will confirm shortly

Referee Bobby Madley has blown for half-time.

Stoke boss Paul Lambert is straight down the tunnel and he will have a lot to say after his side were second best there.

As for Hughton - he may well simply ask for more of the same because his men have been very bright even though clear chances as a whole have been few and far between.

Davy Propper gets a header on Gros' corner but it flies over the bar.

At the other end Choupo-Moting goes through but Ezequiel Schelotto is strong and gets in a block.

It was a great goal from Jose Izquierdo, he seemed surprised that he'd scored himself to be honest, because he didn't celebrate. That goal is exactly what that game needed to get it going.

Lovely footwork from Pascal Gross as Brighton threaten a second and Stoke just manage to clear.

The grumbles are starting around the Bet 365 stadium as the visitors look comfortably the better side going forward; full of pace, energy and brio.

Brighton have scored in consecutive Premier League away games for the first time since November, after a run of six games without a goal on the road. Venture.

Brighton broke their transfer record for the third time in the summer by signing Colombian international Izquierdo from Club Brugge.

He cost about £13.5m - although they'd later pay more for Jurgen Locadia in January.

It looks like a very good bit of business from Hughton.

Izquierdo scored a cracker last week in the win over West Ham at the Amex and that was another scrap-book effort.

He's flying.

We've had plenty of shots but precious few clear chances so far...

Jose Izquierdo is so rapid!

He sprints onto a nice ball from Dale Stephens, cuts inside and lashes a shot just over. The Colombian is full of confidence right now.

Solly March tries a shot from just outside the area, in a central position, but it's right at Butland who deals comfortably enough with it.

First corner of the game for Stoke after Choupo-Moting's header deflected behind.

Ball goes right across the area and Zouma knocks It down. Shaqiri swivels and just clears the bar.

This is better from the hosts.

Glenn Murray prods a close-range shot just over the bar. He's been on fine goal-scoring form lately but that was almost too close as Butland bore down on him.

That's better from Choupo-Moting. This time he keeps his strike down and it flies narrowly past Mat Ryan's post. He had team-mates either side of him to pass to, mind you.

End to end stuff so far. Both teams looking to hit the other on the back of mistakes.
