Dunk played a vital role for the Seagulls in the intense atmosphere of the Marseille Vélodrome as Brighton gave themselves a lifeline after coming from behind to draw 2-2 away to Marseille, avoiding a second successive European defeat.

Marseille duo Chancel Mbemba and Jordan Veretout struck in quick succession before Pascal Gross pulled one back and Joao Pedro slotted home from the spot in the 88th minute to complete the comeback.

Despite salvaging a point, the Seagulls remain bottom of Group B as Ajax drew 1-1 against AEK Athens after former Tottenham forward Steven Bergwijn had his first-half penalty cancelled out by Domagoj Vida.
