He also took charge of Brighton's 3-1 FA Cup third round win at Bournemouth.

Brighton then travel to Chelsea next Wednesday and Graham Scott will be in charge. He has shown 33 yellow cards and one red in 14 Premier League matches this campaign. Scott has not refereed a Albion game so far this season.
