Substitute Charalampos Kostoulas scored a stunning bicycle kick in added time as Brighton salvaged a 1-1 draw from a controversial Premier League<\/a> clash with Bournemouth.<\/p>\n

The 18-year-old Greece international levelled in style a minute beyond the 90 by acrobatically dispatching only his second goal in English football into the left corner following Jan Paul van Hecke’s knock-down.<\/p>\n

Bournemouth had looked set to snatch a contentious victory at the Amex Stadium, having led since Marcus Tavernier’s hotly-disputed 32nd-minute penalty.<\/p>\n

But the away side — playing in the top flight for the first time since selling 10-goal top scorer Antoine Semenyo<\/a> to Manchester City<\/a> for \u00a362.5million — remain three points below 12th-placed Brighton following the late drama.<\/p>\n

Andoni Iraola’s side made the near 100-mile journey along the south coast seeking back-to-back league victories for the first time since beating Brighton 2-1 on September 13.<\/p>\n

Amine Adli<\/a> replaced Semenyo in the only alteration to the Cherries team which began the 3-2 top-flight victory over Tottenham 12 days ago, while Kaoru Mitoma<\/a> made his 100th Premier League appearance in a Brighton side showing four changes from Sunday’s 2-1 FA Cup third-round win at Manchester United<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Morocco<\/a> winger Adli was at the centre of a major talking point in the 27th minute when he went down in the box after beating Seagulls goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen<\/a> to Tavernier’s low cross from the left.<\/p>\n

Referee Paul Tierney initially produced a yellow card for diving but, following VAR intervention, deemed Seagulls goalkeeper Verbruggen had caught Adli on the thigh, allowing Tavernier to confidently fire the subsequent spot-kick into the bottom left corner five minutes after the initial incident.<\/p>\n

Brighton fans vented their displeasure when replays of the adjudged foul were shown on big screens inside the ground before their frustration was heightened by unmarked midfielder Jack Hinshelwood<\/a> heading straight at Bournemouth goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic<\/a> from a Pascal Gross corner.<\/p>\n

Cherries forward Evanilson<\/a> dinked against the base of the left post, albeit he was flagged offside, and then nodded narrowly wide following Adrien Truffert’s cross as the visitors pushed for a second.<\/p>\n

Boos and chants of “you’re not fit to referee” rang around the stadium as match official Tierney left the pitch at half-time.<\/p>\n

Brighton, who faded after a good start in the opening period, resumed with renewed purpose.<\/p>\n

Mitoma side-footed wide of the top-right corner as he sought to mark his milestone outing with a goal before penalty appeals were waved away when Van Hecke went to ground in Bournemouth’s 18-yard box following a collision with Alex Scott<\/a> at a corner.<\/p>\n

Seagulls boss Fabian Hurzeler brought on Carlos Baleba<\/a>, Yankuba Minteh<\/a> and Georginio Rutter<\/a> for the final 24 minutes in an effort to spark a comeback as Bournemouth began to tire and took opportunities to run down the clock.<\/p>\n

A sizzling strike from Minteh forced Petrovic to tip over with seven minutes remaining before Van Hecke sliced off target.<\/p>\n

Brighton were given eight minutes of added to find a leveller but needed less than one.<\/p>\n

Olivier Boscagli<\/a> swung in a cross from the left and, after Van Hecke headed down, teenager Kostoulas – on for Danny Welbeck<\/a> in the 77th minute – chested the ball into the air before finishing in style.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Substitute Charalampos Kostoulas scored a stunning bicycle kick in added time as Brighton salvaged a 1-1 draw from…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3771,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[85,46,105],"class_list":{"0":"post-247080","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-il","9":"tag-israel","10":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247080","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=247080"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247080\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3771"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=247080"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=247080"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=247080"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
