Bournemouth came from a goal down on two occasions to claim a 2-2 draw against Brighton at The Amex on New Year's Day
Steve Cook (33) and Callum Wilson (79) struck as Eddie Howe's men dug deep after Anthony Knockaert (5) and Glenn Murray (48) put Brighton in the driving seat early in both halves
The result lifts Bournemouth up to 13th in the Premier League, two points and a place behind their south-coast rivals, who will rue a number of missed chances to kick 2018 off with a victory
Knockaert picked up a knock in the warm-up but emphatically allayed those pre-match injury fears inside five minutes when he fired Jose Izquierdo's cross home from a narrow angle - the first Premier League goal of 2018
Wilson failed to connect with Charlie Daniels' 12th-minute cross as the Cherries pushed for an equaliser, before referee Michael Oliver rejected the visitors' penalty appeals after Harry Arter's shot struck Knockaert's arm
Asmir Begovic and Mathew Ryan were both called into action to deny shots from Murray and Jordon Ibe before Cook haunted his former employers by hauling Bournemouth level with a stunning looping header
The impressive Pascal Gross remained at the heart of the Brighton attack and so nearly set up Izquierdo for a second, but a brilliant point-blank save from Begovic ensured parity at the interval
Just as they had in the first half, Brighton flew out of the traps and got their just reward as Izquierdo unselfishly squared for Murray to slot his sixth Premier League goal of the season
Brighton had two chances to pull further clear of Bournemouth but Shane Duffy's volley on the hour was blocked before Izquierdo opted to shoot instead of teeing up Davy Propper at the end of a counter, and Begovic thwarted his effort
Ibe struck the post with a thunderous 25-yard drive on 73 minutes before Bournemouth punished Brighton's profligacy as Wilson fortuitously poked home after a goalmouth scramble to snatch a point
"I thought we were very good in the goalscoring department today
 That regards our intensity in the game and our work in the final third
 I'm just hugely disappointed that having gone in front on two occasions, and creating the chances to win the game, we didn't
""It's frustration for us that we gave them the goals at the start of both halves
 We had to work really hard to get back into the game
 The lads showed great fighting spirit to come back twice
"It's fair to say Izquierdo has failed to scale the heights many envisaged he would following his club-record switch to Brighton
 Like so many before him, the Colombia international has taken his time to adjust to the English game, but Monday's at times scintillating performance was strong indication he's finally found his feet
Izquierdo became the first Brighton player to register two assists in a single Premier League game, and while a third assist for Propper failed to materialise, his display will have no doubt offered a crumb of comfort to the Seagulls
Attention turns to the third round of the FA Cup as Brighton host rivals Crystal Palace and Bournemouth entertain Wigan
 The Seagulls then return to Premier League action with a trip to West Brom on January 13, while the Cherries host Arsenal a day later on
