    Leicester 2-1 Brighton

    Davy Propper's goal was his first Premier League effort in his 58th appearance.

    His last league goal was in PSV's 1-1 Eredivisie draw at Den Haag on 15 April 2017 and was assisted by now Seagulls team-mate Jurgen Locadia.

    Leicester 2-1 Brighton

    Leicester break away at real pace from the corner, Jamie Vardy picks out James Maddison, who slips the ball into Harvey Barnes - but his shot is high and wide. Barnes deserves a goal for today's performance.

    Another Brighton corner comes to Lewis Dunk, but he can't get an effort away.

    Lewis Dunk and Shane Duffy must have magnets in their head. Ball magnets. A corner finds the head of Dunk but it's off target again.

    Leicester 2-1 Brighton

    Job well done by Youri Tielemans, who has played well in Leicester's midfield, setting up a goal. He's replaced by Nampalys Mendy as the Foxes look to shore things up perhaps.

    Leicester 2-1 Brighton

    Brighton bring on £14m striker Jurgen Locadia, who has only scored three goals this season. Solly March is replaced.

    They were planning that sub before Davy Propper scored.

    Davy Propper

    Hello.

    Brighton are back in this. Anthony Knockaert's cross is deflected but lands at the feet of Davy Propper, who takes a touch and rifles a low shot which leaves Kasper Schmeichel with no chance.

    Leicester 2-0 Brighton

    Brighton have had their chances and Shane Duffy heads wide from six yards out from a corner. You'd expect him to do better from there.

    That's only Jamie Vardy's second goal since New Year's Day.

    Jamie Vardy

    That might just clinch it.

    Demarai Gray finds James Maddison and he slides in an excellent through ball to Jamie Vardy, who just slots it past Mat Ryan.

    Leicester 1-0 Brighton

    Leicester haven't been as good since the break - or the opening 30 minutes really. One shot since the restart.

    Brighton have had five, including this Shane Duffy effort which is well wide.

    Leicester 1-0 Brighton

    Brighton sub Yves Bissouma has yet to score in the Premier League. He goes close here from 20 yards but it's wide of Kasper Schmeichel's left-hand post.

    Leicester 1-0 Brighton

    Harvey Barnes fouls Martin Montoya as he tries to get past him. That's been a good battle today. One-sided at times mind.

    Now he wins a corner off the Spaniard after a good passing move.

    Leicester 1-0 Brighton

    Demarai Gray's touch lets him down at the crucial time. Jonny Evans picks out Ricardo Pereira down the right and his cross is towards Gray, in a good position, but he just can't control it.

    Former Brighton striker Warren Aspinall on BBC Sussex: "The response and character from Albion players was excellent at the end of the first half.

    "They were battering us, then after the goal we changed formation and created chances.

    "Knockaert's playing well, I'd like more from Bong & March on the other side."

    Poor. Anthony Knockaert plays the ball across to Dale Stephens, who seems to take his eyes off the ball and it rolls past him.

    Seconds later Stephens manages a shot which is deflected wide by Wilfred Ndidi.

    Not much happening to be honest. Yves Bissouma has the ball on the right wing but doesn't get much support so they have to go sideways.

    Pascal Gross' day is done and he's replaced by Yves Bissouma.

    Gross probably would have felt it was worth it had Murray scored...

    Absolutely textbook footballer here. Glenn Murray must be blaming his boots and he changes into some different boots on the touchline.

    Pascal Gross is hobbling, must have hurt himself with that backheel.

    Glenn Murray has just missed a sitter. I mean this is one of the misses of the season.

    Anthony Knockaert finds Pascal Gross, who backheels the ball across to Murray, eight yards out. The veteran striker leans back... and blazes the ball over the bar. Unbelievable.
