Watford played with 10 men for three quarters of the game after Uruguayan defender Miguel Britos was sent off for a wild tackle on Anthony Knockaert midway through the first half. Manager Marco Silva responded by subbing the skilful Nordin Amrabat for defender Craig Cathcart.

Watford's plans were undermined again when Cathcart was injured and had to be replaced by Andre Carrillo for his debut having signed on loan from Benfica.

Either side of Britos's red card Brighton hit the woodwork, first with Knockaert then through Tomer Hemed, but they struggled to carve out opportunities against a Watford side who defended deeply.
