Brighton & Hove Albion have twice come back from behind to share the points with Stoke City, after battling to a 2-2 draw at home.

It was the away side who drew the first blood in the 28th minute when Maxim Choupo-Moting received an inch-perfect long-ball, before firing Home with an exquisite finish.

Just before half-time Brighton’s Pascal Gross smashed-in an effort to level the score at 1-1. There was to be another twist before the break. Stoke regained the lead in stoppage time, when Zouma’s header had the Brighton net rippling once more.

But the hosts fought back through Izquierdo once again on the hour mark, making it 2-2 and extending their unbeaten run to five Premier League matches.
