Christian Benteke holds the ball up, turns sharply and slips just as he shoots.

It's chucking it down again.

Mark: Great to see John FINALLY get the recognition he deserves is a real credit to him and to Brighton as a whole. To persevere as long as he did then to hit THREE in a row. Brilliant. The whole football community is with John today! Fair play from a West Ham fan!

KinderJurgen: Let's have 7 more tweets John!

Quick VAR check to make sure it's not a red. They're all happy. Phew!

Joel Ward comes crashing in on the right. He gets the ball and a lot of John Fleck, who screams out and clutches his shin.

It's a yellow card but Fleck will be fine.

Theo: Oh and he's gone past one moderator, he's gone past two, only the goalie to beat. He scores! John's got a tweet on the feed! Absolute scenes here at the Amex.

Ok even our moderator is laughing now Theo!

Luka Milivojevic waits for the ball to come down on the edge of the box and hits a sweet strike into a wall of defenders in the box.

Jeffrey Schlupp flicks it on, with Chris Basham sliding to block it but Aaron Ramsdale reacts to make the save.

Another free-kick for Palace. Andros Townsend has a go this time. It deflects heavily off the wall and rolls out for a corner.

Kean Bryan comes in strong on Eberechi Eze and referee Simon Hooper isn't a fan.

There's a free-kick just outside the box for Palace which Luka Milivojevic will take.

He tees up Eze to his left but his strike goes straight into the wall.

That early goal really did raise our expectations. It's not lived up to the hype of the opening minute so far.

John's (terrible) predictions are keeping us all going.

Londondude123: Given that there isn't a lot to play for in this match, i'm more interested in the John Saga! What happened to sticking to your morals in the face of adversity? Backing down on his prediction is weak!

Mr H: John, a Brighton fan is on a roll. 1 tweet in 1000 attempts, now 3 in succession.

Arthur: John has a hat-trick of getting on the feed. 3 times in a row. INCREDIBLE.

John Egan drills a long ball over to David McGoldrick on the left. He brings it down and nut-megs the full-back but he's penalised for a shirt tug.

Enda Stevens swings it in early from the left. It's got some pace on it but David McGoldrick can't direct the header. It's comfortably wide.

Decent ball in from Stevens!

John's cracked under the pressure.

Speaking of Eberechi Eze... He has now provided more Premier League assists this season than any other Crystal Palace player (5).

Eberechi Eze is finding space. He picks it up in the pocket just outside the box and tries to slide in Luka Milivojevic.

He leaves him short and John Fleck gets a toe on it.

From the corner, Christian Benteke juggles with the ball to try and get a shot away before eventually scissor-kicking it straight at the keeper.

Miaow: RE 15:04 One in 1000 attempts seems like an appropriate strike rate for Brighton.

Harsh!

Sander Berge tries to set Oliver Burke on his way down the right but there's too much on it.

Andros Townsend has it over on the right for Palace now.

Chris Basham plays a nice one-two on the right. He cuts it back into the middle but David McGoldrick can't quite bring it under control.
