Will Buckley struck in the last minute to keep Brighton on the coattails of the clubs in the npower Championship play-off places with a 1-0 victory over Leicester.
Buckley won the game for Albion shortly after they, like the Foxes, had been reduced to 10 men. The visitors went on to finish the match with nine players.
It was an entertaining encounter between two evenly-matched sides but chances were few and far between. It sprung into life when Jermaine Beckford was controversially sent off in the 53rd minute.
After mistiming a challenge on Lewis Dunk down near the corner flag, Beckford tapped the Brighton defender on the back and exchanged words with him. This led to the referee's assistant flagging furiously and Beckford being shown a straight red card by referee Andy Woolmer, much to the disbelief of the Leicester players.
Woolmer evened things up numerically with five minutes remaining, showing Matt Sparrow a second yellow card for a late lunge on Foxes substitute Ben Marshall.
Brighton were not deterred and took the lead through Buckley when he volleyed home Rodriguez Vicente's cross at the far post. It might have been 2-0 in the end had Neil Danns not also been shown a red card for hauling down Vicente in injury time.

Is that that photograph really you Daz!
Daz doesn't look too smart either! Needs to work harder during his English lessons at school.
As sad as that comment is Daz, it is made even more so by the fact you can't even spell it right. Proving yet again those that resort to insults really do lack the intelligence to deal with everyday situations.
