BURNLEY (Reuters) -Brighton & Hove Albion forward Neal Maupay and midfielder Alexis Mac Allister scored second-half goals to seal a 2-1 victory over a wasteful Burnley in their feisty Premier League opener at Turf Moor on Saturday.

Argentine Mac Allister charged into the penalty area and met Pascal Gross's cross to sweep home a 78th-minute winner shortly after coming on as a substitute, with Maupay drawing Brighton level five minutes earlier.
