Fulham come from behind to beat Albion

Brighton 1 Fulham 2


Lasse Vigen Christensen scored Fulham’s winner as they came from behind to beat Brighton.

Darren Bent, who spent last season on loan with the Whites, scored on his debut for the home side.

But the visitors hit back in the second half, with Hugo Rodallega equalising before young midfielder Christensen netted with 13 minutes remaining.

The win was Fulham’s sixth in 11 games and saw them rise to 16th in the table.

They fought back after Adrian Colunga set up Bent, who fired through  keeper Marcus Bettinelli’s legs seven minutes into the second half.

Rodallega belted a powerful drive past former Fulham keeper David Stockdale from 10 yards out and Christensen’s deflected shot secured the points.

Brighton ended the match with 10 men after Colunga was sent off for a second bookable offence following an injury-time challenge on Scott Parker.
