Coventry v Brighton

Coventry enjoy their first venture deep into Brighton territory. Mason-Clark does well to work space for the cross from the left. Rudoni looks to attack it at the near post, but the visitors clear their lines.

Brighton have another opportunity to swing the ball into the box via a Gross free-kick delivery. Koustoulas attacks it, but can't direct his header towards the target.

It's been a dominant start to this contest by Brighton, who have quickly established their authority on proceedings. The Seagulls have enjoyed over 80% of the possession, with Coventry unable to get out at the moment.

OOOH THAT'S A LET-OFF! Dasilva carelessly deals with Ayari's ball into the box, with his loose clearance putting it on a plate for Gomez from a tight angle. The Paraguay international shoots first time, but his effort flashes wide of the target.

Rushworth passes his first test with flying colours. The Coventry goalkeeper confidently collects the corner, which will give him a boost as he looks to impress against his old club.

An early test of Coventry's concentration as Brighton are awarded a free-kick, which Gross will float into the box. The hosts manage to make the first contact with the ball, but only succeed in diverting it behind for a corner.
