Maxim De Cuyper and Jaouen Hadjam were both on the scoresheet as 10-man Brighton clinched a 2-0 win over Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.
The game suddenly sparked into life with a chaotic four-minute period early in the second half which saw De Cuyper put the Seagulls ahead before they were reduced to 10 in the 57th minute when Pascal Struijk was sent off following a VAR review for denying a goalscoring opportunity.
