Danny Welbeck scored Brighton's second goal of a wild first half at the Amex StadiumAlexis Mac Allister scored a last-minute penalty as Brighton fought back three times against Brentford to earn a point in a breathless Premier League encounter at Amex Stadium.
Thomas Frank's Brentford side took the lead twice in a frantic first half but were pegged back, before Ethan Pinnock scored what looked to be the winner four minutes after the break.
But Brighton were awarded a late spot-kick after Aaron Hickey blocked Deniz Undav's goalbound shot with his arm. Referee Michael Oliver awarded the penalty after viewing the incident on the pitchside screen and Mac Allister nervelessly converted in the 90th minute.
Brighton had looked sharp in the early stages but it was the visitors who struck first when Pontus Jansson, making his first start since 1 October, got across the front post to power in a header from Mathias Jensen's cross in the 10th minute.
The equaliser 11 minutes later was as simple as it was effective, Kaoru Mitoma racing on to goalkeeper Jason Steele's long ball over the top for Brighton and calmly lifting it over the onrushing David Raya.

The Bees were back in front within 90 seconds as Bryan Mbeumo flicked the ball to Ivan Toney and the England striker lashed in his 17th league goal of the campaign.
Roberto de Zerbi's Seagulls equalised on 28 minutes as Solly March lifted a cross to the back post where Danny Welbeck nodded in from close range.
After an exciting but frenetic first 45 minutes, the second half began in much the same way as Brentford went in front for the third time when Pinnock arrived unmarked at the far post to stab in Mbeumo's free-kick.
Brighton poured forward in search of a third equaliser with Lewis Dunk heading over their best opportunity before the goal finally came via the spot.
The home side felt they should have had another penalty in stoppage time when March's cross struck the arm of Hickey but this time the video assistant referee did not intervene and the teams were left to settle for a point apiece.
