Bournemouth goalscorer David Brooks has his name taken after kicking the ball away.

Silly boy.

Martin Montoya gets in a good position on the right but his cross loops into the arms of Asmir Begovic.

Bournemouth are weathering the Brighton storm.

Andrew Surman gives the ball away in a dangerous position, allowing Solly March to fire in a low cross.

Yves Bissouma gets on the end of it but his shot strikes Jurgen Locadia and Bournemouth clear.

Florin Andone's shot is blocked on the edge of the Bournemouth box, before Pascal Gross's cross is cleared to safety.

Good spell this for Brighton. Can they find an equaliser before the interval?

The eagle-eyed may have spotted a World Cup finalist on the team sheet today in assistant referee Darren Cann, who ran the line for Howard Webb in both the World Cup and Champions League finals of 2010.

Meanwhile, it feels positively balmy here for mid-to-late December (not even really a day for a woolly hat) - in stark contrast to the Arctic temperatures in the West Midlands last Saturday when Bournemouth lost 2-0 at Wolves in incessant, driving rain.

Brighton enjoying a decent spell of possession now.

Asmir Begovic has not had much to do since those earlier saves from Bissouma and Locadia, though.

Eddie Howe is waving his arms on the touchline, urging his players to greater efforts.

With games against Spurs and Man Utd coming up for the Cherries, Howe will be desperate to hold on to all three points here.

Eight yellow cards for the season for Bournemouth's £25m record signing Jefferson Lerma. The Colombian, who has already served a one-match ban for his first five, is two cautions away from another suspension.

Jefferson Lerma takes out Martin Montoya on the right and is shown the game's first yellow card.

No complaints there from the Colombian.

Junior Stanislas pulls the trigger from the edge of the area but Lewis Dunk slides in to block the shot.

The momentum has swung Bournemouth's way since they took the lead.

David Brooks has been impressive. It is thought you can't go to the lower leagues and bring good players up any more so credit to Eddie Howe.

He has shown intelligence to go into space, move defenders around. I've watched him a few times and he's impressed in the four months he's been in the Premier League.

Magnificent challenge by Simon Francis.

Pascal Gross's low cross was heading towards Jurgen Locadia at the far post, but the Bournemouth skipper slides in to clear the danger.

Brilliant defending.

Brighton's fans were the more vocal in the first quarter of the game, with Asmir Begovic the busier goalkeeper - but the Cherries' patient build-up play has borne fruit with a composed finish from David Brooks.

His fourth goal of the season means his goal tally in the Premier League now exceeds the three goals he managed in his entire Championship career with Sheffield United.

Callum Wilson has the ball in the net but the linesman's flag is up.

Bournemouth have a spring in their step since Brooks' opener.

Chris Hughton cuts a frustrated figure in the dugout - and who can blame the Brighton boss?

His side had made the better start to proceedings but find themselves behind. Can they respond?

Another fine save by Asmir Begovic prevents Jurgen Locadia's low drive from finding the bottom corner.

Begovic gets down low to his left to palm the forward's goal-bound effort to safety.

Excellent goalkeeping.

Only Man City have scored more goals in the first 15 minutes of games this season than Bournemouth.

The hosts have failed to break the deadlock here yet, though. Brighton defending well so far.

Excellent defending by Bruno, who gets back to clear Callum Wilson's low cross off the line.

The Brighton man has hurt himself in the process but he's prevented his side from falling behind.

Callum Wilson almost gets on the end of a teasing cross from the right but fails to get enough on the ball.

Entertaining start to the game at the Vitality.
