Brighton fought back to secure their first Europa League point in a thrilling 2-2 draw at Marseille.

Brighton's 3-2 home defeat to AEK in their first ever European encounter left Roberto De Zerbi's men needing to get something from their trip to the Stade Velodrome.

Marseille have struggled so far this season but went 2-0 up thanks to two goals in two minutes.

Chancel Mbemba swept the French side into the lead before a slip from Brighton captain Lewis Dunk allowed Jordan Veretout to make it 2-0.

Brighton seemed destined for a third consecutive defeat in all competitions, but the momentum swung when Pascal Gross was picked out by Kaoru Mitoma to halve the arrears.

Joao Pedro then levelled from the penalty spot after Tariq Lamptey had been upended inside the area.
