Published on December 28, 2019, Brighton & Hove Albion returned to winning ways with a 2-0 home victory over Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday.
Alireza Jahanbakhsh, who earned his first start of the season, broke his goalscoring duck with a fierce, low strike into the far corner in the third minute.
Despite Bournemouth's chances to equalize in the first half, Brighton's defenders Dan Burn and Lewis Dunk made crucial blocks to keep the home side ahead 1-0 at halftime.
However, a VAR disallowed a potential second goal for Dan Burn due to a marginal offside call.
Aaron Mooy sealed the win for Brighton in the 79th minute with a sublime curling shot that beat goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale after latching onto Leandro Trossard's pass.
The win lifted Brighton to 13th in the standings, while Bournemouth remained in 16th, two points above the relegation zone, after their seventh loss in nine games.
