FOOTBALL – Greek teenager Charalampos Kostoulas scored with a superb overhead kick in stoppage time to salvage a point for Brighton & Hove Albion in a 1-1 home draw with Bournemouth in the Premier League last night.
It looked as though a controversial first-half penalty by Marcus Tavernier had sealed Bournemouth back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time since August but substitute Kostoulas denied them with his moment of magic. It was the 18-year-old’s second goal of the season and first since October.
Tavernier put Bournemouth in front from the spot in the 32nd minute after referee Paul Tierney was told to view a VAR replay of an incident in which he initially booked Bournemouth’s Amine Adli for diving.
But after looking at the pitch-side monitor he deemed that goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen had indeed caught Adli with his lifted leg as he tried to intercept a ball into the area.
