Verbruggen’s last-gasp penalty save secures Brighton’s comeback win over Brentford
Bart Verbruggen was the hero for Brighton after his stoppage-time penalty save from Igor Thiago earned a dramatic 2-1 home victory over Brentford.
The Seagulls had looked like tasting defeat in Fabian Hürzeler’s 50th match in charge after Thiago’s ice-cool first-half spot-kick had the visitors in front. Danny Welbeck’s 71st-minute leveller sparked a grandstand finish for Brighton and substitute Jack Hinshelwood completed the turnaround with six minutes left.
