    A few half chances for both sides but nothing of real note yet. Brighton are just moving it around the back at the moment.

    Brighton keeper Robert Sanchez gets away with one as his heavy touch almost gifts Richarlison an opportunity.

    He just about gets it away in time but that was CLOSE.

    I don't think Jakub Moder fully believed in that. Everything positive for Brighton is coming through Adam Lallana.

    Leandro Trossard links up with Adam Lallana on the right. They weave some space before Lallana chips it over to Danny Welbeck.

    The bounce is awkward and he tries to scissor-kick it on the half-volley. He ends up hitting it into the ground.

    Jakub Moder then flashes an effort wide of the left post on the volley a few moments later.

    FT: West Brom 3-0 Southampton

    Southampton

    Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl speaking to BBC Sport: "Non performance. We missed everything that is normally part of our game.

    "When you make it that easy for your opponent it is not a surprise you are 2-0 down. A whole day not in our way or what we want to see.

    "We are all responsible for performances like this. If we play like this we have no chance on Sunday [in the FA Cup semi-final v Leicester].

    "This was a chance to get some self confidence ahead of the weekend. We didn’t take it.

    "When the first duel was lost you could see we weren’t sharp enough to compete with a team like West Brom.

    "Our best 25 minutes was at the start of the second-half but it was not enough. We made changes but we were gone by that point.

    "The message is clear, when you want to be successful you have to show a different face."

    On the early VAR offside decision: "Normally the offside decisions are the easiest, it is yes or no. Maybe they did not have enough cameras. I don’t know. It is easy to solve."

    Ben Godfrey just didn't have the composure you'd expect [for that earlier chance]. He thrashed at it. Originally it was really good build up from Everton. They look on it.

    Seamus Coleman is pulled down by Jakub Moder. James Rodriguez has his eyes on this free-kick which is about 20 yards out...

    Always going wide and high.

    Lucas Digne flashes another cross in but it's behind everyone. Ben Godfrey picks it up outside the box and skews the shot way wide.

    Lucas Digne whips a really good ball in from the left but Gylfi Sigurdsson can't quite get his head on it.

    Everton are starting to get a hold of the ball now.

    Southampton manager Ralph Hassenhuttl pulled no punches after his side's defeat at West Brom.

    He called it 'a non-performance'.

    "We missed everything that is normally part of our game. When you make it that easy for your opponent it is not a surprise you are 2-0 down. A whole day not in our way or what we want to see.

    "We are all responsible for performances like this and if we play like this we have no chance on Sunday."

    Southampton play Leicester at Wembley in the FA Cup semi-final at the weekend.

    Brighton 0-0 Everton

    Former Everton boss David Moyes is in the stands tonight. He's having a cracking season with West Ham.

    They occupy the fourth place spot which Everton are eyeing up.

    It's Brighton who are on the front foot at the moment though. Jakub Moder strikes wide of the left post after driving into space on the edge of the box.

    Both set-plays we have had, Brighton have put the ball right on goalkeeper Robin Olsen. Maybe that is something they have planned.

    Pascal Gross' cut-back for Neal Maupay is intercepted and Everton can't take advantage of the break.

    Tom Davies does win a smart free-kick in the middle though.

    Robin Olsen comes off his line to smack the corner away but he gets an elbow in the head from his own team-mate Yerry Mina.

    It's a sore one but he'll be okay. He has a little giggle with Mina.

    Mason Holgate offers legs in midfield. He has that mobility. It will allow Tom Davies and Gylfi Sigurdsson to get on the ball.

    Danny Welbeck links up with Adam Lallana on the edge of the box. His shot cannons off Michael Keane for a corner.

    It's Keane who then gets his head on the end of the set-piece.

    FT: West Brom 3-0 Southampton

    West Bromwich Albion

    West Brom striker Callum Robinson speaking to BBC Sport: "It was really important to back last week’s result up and make it two wins in a row.

    "The boss stressed we needed to go out tonight and get a win, the results didn’t go our way at the weekend.

    "It [safety] is still far off but we will keep going until the end.

    "We kept doing the right things and pressing the ball in the right areas. We knew the chances would come and we would put them away and that’s what happened

    "I’m really happy to score and help the team get the result. We all put a shift in and hopefully we can keep getting the wins and get out of the relegation zone.

    "We just have to stay positive, anything can happen in football."
