Albion's record run of league games without conceding a goal came to an end against Hartlepool at Withdean - Michel Kuipers carried the ball over the line just before half-time from a high cross. It didn't matter; Gary Hart; Bobby Zamora (2) and Richard Carpenter netted for a 4-2 win to send us up to second in Division 3.

On-loan Man Utd defender Paul McShane scored the only goal of the game, with 12 minutes remaining, to give the Seagulls their first win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park since 1983.
