Brighton doubled their lead with 10 minutes remaining as Yankuba Minteh chased down Mats Wieffer's long ball, twisted the Leicester defence inside and out, and slotted the ball into the bottom left corner.
Leicester, who looked out of the game after the second goal, instantly got their way back into the match, thanks to Jamie Vardy.
Just minutes later, the Foxes levelled out of nowhere after Decordova-Reid placed the ball into the empty net in stoppage time.
Tariq Lamptey scores first Premier League goal since 2020
After a four-year goal drought, the Ghanaian international right-back is back on the scoresheet, netting the opener for Brighton.

Despite enduring multiple injuries throughout his career, Lamptey now has an opportunity to rebuild his form at the Amex under new manager Fabian Hürzeler.
His brilliant goal could play a significant role in cementing his place in the team.
