Ghana defender Tariq Lamptey provided an assist in Brighton and Hove Albion home draw with Southampton in the English Premier League on Friday evening.
Brighton and Hove Albion moved second in the Premier League table despite failing to win at home to bottom club Southampton.
Kaoru Mitoma capitalised on poor Saints defending to head Brighton in front midway through the first half.
Victory would have taken Brighton six points behind leaders Liverpool, but they were pegged back when Flynn Downes slammed home just before the hour.
Instead they are second, level on points, goal difference and goals scored with Manchester City, but with a better head-to-head record.
Southampton thought they had taken the lead through Cameron Archer shortly after Downes' goal, but it was ruled out for a debatable offside as team-mate Adam Armstrong was ruled to have been interfering with play.
Southampton remain bottom of the table, with just five points from 13 games.
Brighton dominated the opening stages Friday evening, with Southampton nearly caught out on several occasions attempting to play out from the back.
Georginio Rutter was inches away from handing Brighton the lead on 16 minutes, cutting in from the right and striking the post with his left-footed drive.
And they did lead when Tariq Lamptey - making his first league start of an injury-inflicted season - crossed from the right.
Jack Stephens missed his header and the ball was allowed to bounce through to Mitoma, who evaded marker Yukinari Sugawara to head home.
But Brighton failed to press their advantage, and were punished when Armstrong's blocked effort fell perfectly for Downes to strike from 16 yards.
He Ghana international lasted for 73 minutes before he was substituted in Brighton's draw with Southampton at the American Express Stadium.
Lamptey has now netted one goal and provided two assists in five appearances in all competitions for Brighton and Hove Albion in the ongoing season's campaign.
