Brighton came back twice from a goal down to grab a point against Stoke at the Amex Stadium on Monday 20th of November. Goals from Pascal Gross and Jose Izquierdo for the home side made sure that the Seagulls continued their good start to the season.
The game began with Brighton in the ascendancy, but in the 11th minute a corner for Stoke, from Darren Fletcher, was nearly headed in by Ryan Shawcross, but his effort was tipped over the bar by goalkeeper Matt Ryan. This was a warning sign for Brighton of what was to come later in the game.
