Aston Villa couldn't protect their late lead and gave up an equalizer, but Brighton won't be thrilled with the draw either.

Steve: Symptomatic of our season. Some very good general play but mistakes in both boxes. So wasteful every game and weak mentality. Both goals conceded through the right back channel again. This season will either turn around or fizzle out. Fingers crossed Unai has the answers.

Opponents Brighton are winless in six league matches, drawing four of them, since beating Bournemouth 2-1 on 23 November. Villa have won eight of their nine top-flight home matches against the Seagulls, including a 6-1 victory early last season when Ollie Watkins scored a hat-trick.
