Supersub Charalampos scores spectacular Seagulls equaliser
GREEK UNORTHODOX... Brighton's Kostoulos scores a stunning injury-time equaliser
CHARALAMPOS KOSTOULAS scored a contender for goal of the season to rescue a dramatic point for Brighton - in a game marred by yet more VAR controversy.
The Greek substitute scored with an injury-time overhead kick to maintain the Seagulls’ unbeaten start to 2026.
His spectacular strike cancelled out a hotly-disputed Marcus Tavernier penalty, given after technology had intervened again. Furious Brighton fans chanted “you're not fit to referee” at official Paul Tierney after he overturned his original decision to book Amine Adli for diving and award the spot-kick.
The game has been dogged by less than clear-cut video technology overturning calls recently, and this was another that will continue the debate.
