Brighton were perhaps unfortunate not to seal the three points in their 1-1 draw against Burnley at the Amex.
But who shone and who struggled for both teams during this Premier League encounter?
Decent distribution - clear to see the manager wants to play out from the back. Not much he could do about the Hendrick goal, a sweet low-effort fired right past him into the corner.
Looked strong and commanded line with Dunk. Dealt well with the physicality of Burnley. Showed bravery in a heavy challenge against Nick Pope.
Great last man tackle to stop Chris Wood going through on goal. Last man header to clear danger stop Chris Wood again. Will be disappointed not to keep a clean sheet.
Kept Brighton ticking. Calm and assured in the centre of the park . Didn't give the ball away once. Got the crowd going with a heavy challenge on Jay Rodriguez.
Neil Maupay - Looked lively throughout. Tidy in possession, worked hard for the team with off-the-ball running. Great agility and technique to scored the goal which put Brighton ahead.
Showed moments of ability. When he started to find space had the vision and quality to play some dangerous balls in behind.
Stepped up well to the level today, did everything that would have been asked of him, dealt with the limited threat from Burnley
Feeding off scraps in the first half. Tirless in his closing down. Will be disappointed to have missed a header from close range. Forced a good save from Pope with a low effort. Subbed off for Mooy after a few tired touches.
Solly March - Started at right back, made a few defensive mistakes. Manager switched it up early on and pushed March further forward. Positive attacking play and won the ball high up the pitch.
Provided the legs alongside Stephens in the middle of the park. Worked hard and linked up well with forwards in parts.
Looked up for it from the start with a crunching tackle on a Burnley forward. Played high up the pitch and linked up well with the attack.
Huge cheers from the home crowd when he came on in the final minutes. Not enough time to affect the game.
Subbed on for Murray. Not enough time to make an impact.
