Brighton angle another diagonal ball towards Murray at the far post but Bardsley cannily leans into the striker to watch the ball bounce harmlessly out of play.
90'
Mee stays on for now - his record of playing every minute for Burnley in the Premier League this season continues. There will be four added minutes at the end of this game.
89'
Mee lands awkwardly from that header. The defender looks to be in some pain and needs treatment.
88'
It's one-way traffic now. Brighton circulate the ball. Stephens lofts the ball towards Knockaert at the back post but Mee is in the right place to head it clear.
87'
McNeil intercepts another poor Brighton pass from the back. That's a few more precious seconds gone for the home side - they really need to score about now.
86'
Bong finds space for a cross from the left. Knockaert rushes in and flashes a header wide of Heaton's right-hand post. He should have at least tested the keeper there.
84'
Brighton are still banging on the door but the next big opportunity hasn't arrived yet. Burnley are dropping deeper and deeper, a mistake they made against Manchester United last week. They led by two goals at about this time in the game then too.
80'
Brighton have yet another call for handball in Burnley's area but there's little in this one - a close rebound off Westwood that he could do little about.
78'
Brighton have the wind beneath their wings at the moment. Jahanbakhsh gets a groan from the fans after his sloppy ball for Bong kills a promising Brighton attack.
Minute
Description
77'
Burnley win a corner off Dunk. Westwood's corner finds Mee in the six-yard box but Burnley's centre-back heads the ball wide to the right.
76'
A. Westwood gets yellow.
S. Duffy has scored a goal for Brighton & Hove Albion! Assist by A. Knockaert.
Westwood is booked for a foul on Bissouma. If Brighton grab a goal now, they may still have a small chance.
Knockaert has made a visible difference since he came on. His set-piece delivery has really helped Brighton.
GOAL! And Brighton do score! Knockaert whips the central-free kick right into the corridor of uncertainty between defence and goalkeeper and Duffy powers a low header past Heaton! 3-1.
74'
Penalty goal scored by A. Barnes for Burnley!
GOAL! 3-0 Burnley, and this game is done. Wood doesn't get the chance to seal his hat-trick; instead Barnes steps up and slots the ball calmly past Ryan.
72'
M. Ryan gets yellow.
Ryan is booked for denying that obvious goal-scoring opportunity. Brighton will feel hard down by.
70'
Those two Brighton changes have made little impact so far. Brighton win a succession of throws down their left side but get nowhere.
Burnley's defence is typically well-organised. Brighton just can't find a way through. Tarkowski boots a loose pass out of play.
68'
It's the last quarter of the game, and Burnley appear to have gone into defensive mode. All their players are now in their half. Brighton probe but can't break down Burnley's black wall.
66'
A. Jahanbakhsh enters the game and replaces J. Locadia.
Y. Bissouma enters the game and replaces P. Groß.
Secondly, Gross is replaced by Bissouma. Both players go straight down the tunnel - presumably to get themselves dry.
Brighton make two changes. First, Locadia is replaced by Jahanbakhsh.
65'
Brighton's fans are willing them on but the home side can't make progress upfield at the moment. Those subs are about to happen now.
61'
C. Wood has scored a goal for Burnley! Assist by D. McNeil.
McNeil may have got away with that penalty claim earlier on but he's been good for Burnley today. He might have helped his team get a vital win here.
GOAL! 2-0 BURNLEY! Wood scores again - surely Burnley won't let this lead slip! Brighton hump a long ball towards Tarkowski who can deal with that all day long. McNeil breaks upfield and finds Wood, who opens his body up and passes the ball into the far corner. Lovely goal.
60'
McNeil cuts in from the right - his low shot is blocked. While Burnley aren't really threatening right now, Brighton's menace has died down too.
59'
Heaton gets a talking-to from the referee for time-wasting. Tarkowski pumps an aimless ball vaguely in the direction of Wood. Burnley haven't really attacked this half.
58'
Locadia, who's been peripheral this game, gives away a foul in the centre of the park. Heaton spots a 2v2 situation upfield and boots it forward quickly. Brighton see it out. Bong wins a corner off Bardsley.
Gross' corner is punched away by Heaton. The ball finds its way back to Gross on the inside-left, but the German can't bend the ball in at the far post.
56'
Knockaert switches the play successfully for Bong who hands the ball to Propper. McNeil, dropping deep, intercepts Propper's attempted slide-rule pass. No way through for Brighton right now.
55'
Stephens attempts a deep cross from the right but Mee clears again. The flag eventually goes up as Gross is offside.
54'
The rain is really pelting down at the Amex Stadium. It's making the turf wet and slick - exactly what you want for a fast-paced game of football.
52'
Knockaert beats Taylor down the right, only for Mee to lump the ball out of trouble. Brighton are in the ascendancy again.
50'
Knockaert makes his first contribution to the game, winning a corner for Brighton. Taylor heads it out for another corner on the opposite side. Gross takes this one and it falls to Knockaert, who bursts into the area only to be blocked by Bardsley.
48'
A. Knockaert enters the game and replaces S. March.
An unusually timed change for Brighton - either a clever tactical switch or an injury. Knockaert replaces March.
Heaton palms an innocuous cross away as if it's a particularly irritating fly. Brighton deliver the ball back in but it's hooked away by Bardsley.
46'
No changes at half-time. The second half is underway.
Burnley win an early free-kick after Gross brings down Cork in midfield. Tarkowski makes the delivery; it's behind the run of Wood though and bounces safely through to Ryan.
45' +2
Barnes starts the defensive tactics early, taking the ball towards the corner flag and winning a throw. Burnley keep it there until the referee blows his whistle for half-time.
HALF TIME: BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION 0 - 1 BURNLEY
45' +1
There will be two added minutes. Barnes wins a timely free-kick off Stephens, giving Burnley a much-needed breather. They should make it to half-time now.
41'
Brighton are growing into this. Locadia works the ball inside towards Gross but the German misses his kick.
39'
March takes on Taylor again and Brighton are initially awarded a corner. The referee chats with the assistant and rightly reverses the decision - the ball went out of play off March's foot.
38'
Burnley ride their luck again! March teases Taylor on the edge of Burnley's 18-yard box. Thankfully for Heaton, Gross' shot is blocked, taking a lot of power out of it.
36'
Burnley waste a counter-attack. Propper slips as he heads towards the Burnley box. Hendrick looks to switch play but Brighton have time to get back and his pass is overcooked.
35'
Brighton are still a threat though. Murray's header in the area bounces wide.
34'
It's been a better game than expected and Burnley have had the better of it. Barnes gives Ryan something else to do as he pops a dipping left-footer towards goal. Ryan claims it fairly easily.
32'
Bardsley should have done better there. Burnley ping the ball around near Brighton's area and it fizzes free towards Bardsley at the far post. He should smack it first time but instead takes a touch. By the time he hits it towards Ryan the shot is tame.
30'
Down the other end, McNeil races down the left and cuts the ball back zippily, forcing Stephens to kick it out for a Burnley corner. Ryan is unfairly pinned by Barnes and Brighton get a free-kick.
26'
C. Wood has scored a goal for Burnley! Assist by A. Barnes.
That was a fast move by Burnley. It was Barnes' quick pass that caught Dunk off guard and left him vulnerable.
GOAL! 1-0 Burnley, and Wood has scored against his former club! Murray tries a clever back-heel infield towards Gross but Mee sees it off. In two passes Wood is through on goal after Dunk slips and he smashes it past Ryan into the net.
24'
Cork looks to slide the ball through towards Wood but it's intercepted and suddenly Brighton are away! Locadia picks it up wide left and elects to pick the pass inside to March, who stings Heaton's hands again!
22'
Tarkowski keeps firing balls behind Montoya into Burnley's left-hand channel for Barnes to run onto. That must be a weakness they've identified in training.
20'
Burnley are keeping up the pressure, gradually easing their way forward. Tarkowski aims another diagonal ball towards Barnes who keeps it well.
18'
Burnley pass their way out of trouble before finding Barnes running down the left-hand channel. The striker whips it in first-time but Wood can't reach it. The delivery was just a fraction too late.
12'
Taylor curls the ball in towards the far post. It's cleared by Stephens. Burnley's approach isn't the most subtle but it's certainly done the trick for them recently.
11'
Burnley keep the ball for a while, pinging it between their defence. Tarkowski angles a direct ball forward towards Barnes but the striker can't control it. The away side try the same move again and Duffy hands Burnley a free-kick.
9'
Both Bardsley and Bong look fine now. That's good to see. Burnley get the ball back and quickly win a throw-in down their left.
7'
Bardsley races forward as he tries to get onto the end of a loose ball. Bong slides in and wins the ball but takes a whack on the head by Bardsley's hip as he does. The two players stay down briefly.
5'
Mee fouls Gross near the right touchline. Brighton free-kick. Taylor just about sees away the diagonal ball towards the far post. The subsequent corner ends up out of play.
3'
Another effort for Brighton! Gross tests Heaton with a stinging volley, forcing the Burnley keeper to push the ball to his right! They look determined to force their home advantage.
1'
The referee Stuart Atwell gets this match underway! Burnley start brightly as they win a corner down their right. Murray heads it away from danger.
Hello and welcome to our live text commentary of this Premier League match between Brighton and Hove Albion and Burnley at the Amex Stadium.
This match looked a very different prospect for Brighton a few weeks ago. Seemingly safe in mid-table at the end of last year, the Seagulls' form has slumped of late - they are now winless in five Premier League games and looking nervously back down at their relegation rivals.
Worryingly for Brighton, their opponents today are Burnley whose recent trajectory is very much upward. Sean Dyche's side have struggled this season but are now unbeaten in six league games, giving them hope that they can climb out of trouble. Will their recent run continue?
SUBS: David Button, Bernardo, Alireza Jahanbakhsh, Beram Kayal, Anthony Knockaert, Dan Burn, Yves Bissouma.
BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION (4-3-3): Mat Ryan; Martin Montoya, Lewis Dunk (c), Shane Duffy, Gaetan Bong; Pascal Gross, Davy Propper, Dale Stephens; Jurgen Locadia, Glenn Murray, Solly March.
SUBS: Matej Vydra, Peter Crouch, Joe Hart, Ben Gibson, Matthew Lowton, Stephen Ward, Kevin Long.
BURNLEY (4-4-2): Tom Heaton (c); Phil Bardsley, Ben Mee, James Tarkowski, Charlie Taylor; Jeff Hendrick, Jack Cork, Ashley Westwood, Dwight McNeil; Ashley Barnes, Chris Wood.
Brighton step out in their breezy white and blue-striped home kit. Burnley are in their all-black away kit. We're almost ready!
That result has dragged Brighton right into the relegation battle. They lie 15th now, sandwiched between Crystal Palace and Burnley on 27 points, while Newcastle can leapfrog all of them with a win against Wolves on Monday. Southampton replace Burnley in 18th, just inside the drop zone.
Burnley get a deserved win, then - they look to have the momentum they need to get out of trouble. Just as well, as they play Tottenham, Newcastle and Palace in their next three games. Brighton have the distraction of their FA Cup tie against Derby next weekend. Let's hope it doesn't cost them in the end. That's all for now. Goodbye!
