Brighton salvaged a dramatic 1-1 draw at home against Bournemouth after teenager Charalampos Kostoulas scored a stunning overhead kick in the dying moments. The goal denied Bournemouth a rare away victory in the Premier League, capping a tense contest where the visitors had looked set to take all three points.

The late equalizer extends Brighton's unbeaten run at the Amex Stadium, a crucial home record for their European ambitions. For Bournemouth, it's another frustrating result on the road, dropping points from a winning position. Kostoulas, a promising academy graduate, announced himself on the biggest stage with a moment of pure instinct.

Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi will be pleased with the character shown to fight back, though the defense will be scrutinized for conceding. Bournemouth must now regroup after a valiant away performance yielded just a single point. All eyes will be on Kostoulas to see if this goal sparks a breakthrough season for the young striker.
