Webster was once again excellent for Brighton in defence but was forced off the pitch on 75 minutes after a last ditch tackle on Burnley striker Matej Vydra.

Hide AdWebster was replaced by Lallana but the sight of the defender painfully leaving the Turf Moor pitch would have worried fans.
Brighton have had their injury problems this season and will be without Solly March for around 12 weeks after he injured his knee in the victory at Liverpool last Wednesday.
Thankfully the initial diagnoses for Webster was not serious.

“We are hoping it’s just a sore one. But obviously you need 24, 48 hours just to let things settle down."
Lewis Dunk’s towering header from a corner gave Albion the lead at Burnley but Johann Gudmundsson’s strike eight minutes after half-time ensured an eighth draw in the most recent 11 meetings between the teams.

Albion had claimed a shock win over defending champions Liverpool in midweek and beaten Tottenham last Sunday.
The visitors would have fancied their chances after going ahead but ultimately had to settle for a point.

"I felt the game had got away from us a bit in the second half, credit to Burnley for that.
"We've had a week where we have had seven points. That makes a difference for us. We can't play well every week and in every game.
"Adam Webster is not too bad, he just rolled his ankle. The initial signs are encouraging."
