PREMIER LEAGUE : BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION VS BOURNEMOUTH – 19/01/2026 (PHOTO – CHARALAMPOS KOSTOULAS SCORES STOPPAGE-TIME BICYCLE KICK!)

THIS WAS AN EXCITING MATCH LAST NIGHT, WHICH TOOK AN UNEXPECTED TURN AT THE END! BOURNEMOUTH MADE 269 PASSES, WITH A 73% PASS ACCURACY, HAD 6 CORNERS, WITH 11 SHOTS AND 2 ON-TARGET, INCLUDING A CRACKER FROM MARCUS TAVERNIER AT 32 MINS., WHO SCORED FROM THE SPOT AFTER AMINE ADLI WAS BROUGHT DOWN FOLLOWING SOME ARGEY-BARGEY WITH GOALY BART VERBRUGGEN, WITH THE REF PAUL TIERNEY CHANGING HIS INITIAL DECISION AWARDING A YELLOW CARD, TO A PENALTY INSTEAD AFTER VAR INTERVENTION. BRIGHTON MADE 575 PASSES, WITH AN 83% PASS ACCURACY, HAD 11 CORNERS, (66% POSSESSION), AND 17 SHOTS, WITH 7 ON-TARGET, INCLUDING A SUPERB OVERHEAD ACROBATIC BICYCLE-KICK FROM 18 YEAR-OLD CHARALAMPOS KOSTOULAS IN STOPPAGE-TIME AT 90 +1 MINS., MEANING THAT THE MATCH ENDED IN A 1 – 1 DRAW! WHICH JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT IN THIS GAME, IT’S NEVER, EVER OVER UNTIL THE FAT LADY SINGS! (OR THE LATEST ADDITION OF A NEW CROP OF YOUNG STARS ACROSS THE BOARD GET’S TO PROVE HIS SPECTACULAR WORTH!)

THE DRAW MEANS THAT BOTH SIDES STAY WHERE THEY WERE IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE TABLE, WITH BRIGHTON IN 12TH AND BOURNEMOUTH IN 15TH.
