Andre Gray celebrates his goal from the penalty spot
Two goals in the opening four minutes decided Burnley and Brighton's top-six clash as it ended in a 1-1 draw at Turf Moor.
Bobby Zamora put Brighton ahead inside the first minute before Andre Gray scored his 11th league goal of the season from the penalty spot three minutes later.

Lewis Dunk was adjudged to have pulled Michael Keane's shirt, and Gray dispatched the spot-kick high past David Stockdale.
The result extends Brighton's unbeaten run to 18 games, but Chris Hughton's side missed the chance to go top of the Championship table after Hull's 1-1 draw at Bristol City on Saturday. Burnley remain in fifth position, five points clear of Birmingham City in sixth.
Gray scores from the penalty spot
The home side may feel more frustrated with the draw after they failed to take a number of late chances to win the game.
But neither side should be too upset with their point, considering both the run of play and the fact that Burnley have lost just once in three months - a streak bettered only by their opponents, who still have not lost a league game this season.
Former England striker Zamora scored a simple conversion after Tomer Hemed's strike fell into his path off the underside of the crossbar and through Tendayi Darikwa's legs.
Zamora lasted 63 minutes before the striker was replaced by Jake Forster-Caskey
Gray bagged his eighth goal in six Turf Moor appearances from the spot after Dunk was caught holding a generous handful of Keane's shirt from a corner.

Brighton goalkeeper Stockdale was fortunate not to allow a second to slip past him in the eighth minute after he failed to hold George Boyd's free-kick, with the ball squirming just wide of the post.
But there was nothing lucky about his save 12 minutes later as he pushed away Rouwen Hennings' close-range shot from Boyd's cross. The Clarets winger impressed again as he released Gray with an excellent through ball, but Gordon Greer did well to get in front of the resulting shot.
Bruno Saltor crossed for Zamora just before the break, but his header dropped onto the roof of the net.
Solly March would surely have restored Brighton's lead on 63 minutes had he timed his run onto Zamora's ball a little better, but the winger set off too early to tap home.
Rouwen Hennings hurdles a challenge from Bruno
It looked like the game was going to take something special to break the deadlock with both sides defending well on the edge of their penalty areas.
Scott Arfield went close to making that happen with a trademark curler from 20 yards that went just wide of Stockdale's post. The winger found himself unmarked with the goal gaping eight minutes from time, only to fire Gray's cross wide of the far post.
Burnley spurned another great opportunity in the dying seconds, with substitute Chris Long firing off target from point-blank range.
