Follow live updates from Europa League and Conference League
That's all from us. We'll be back with Everton v Coventry in the Premier League tomorrow night.
So, victory for Bournemouth tonight sees them up to second in the Europa League table.
A first loss in Europe for Sunderland means they drop to 11th while Crystal Palace salvaged a point earlier tonight and sit 21st.
In the Europa Conference League, Brighton are fifth in the table after holding onto a narrow victory tonight.
Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris speaking to TNT Sports: " Tough. I think we had two different halves and the first one was difficult. Many young players played and it's not easy to manage. It's not easy to change the dynamic, I appreciated the change in the second half, with more experienced players.
"More quality, more experience on the pitch, we are unlucky because we created many chances but it wasn't enough but sometimes it's like this. Sometimes you go on a poor run, but we are still competitive, the players tried until the end."
Well done Brighton three points away from home not a bad nights work.
Magic winning in Europe we have come a long way.
Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler speaking to TNT Sports: "These games in the Conference League are different. You have to beat a low block. You have to understand what the opponents are looking for in the game. Therefore, you have to always be patient in these games and I think we did it today.
"We didn't play our best game, to be fair. We had a few moments where we were quite lazy with the easy things. We didn't do the simple things on the highest level but in the end we kept a clean sheet, third clean sheet in a row in this tournament and we scored a goal and I think we deserved to win this game."
On the plan with Pascal Gross after playing 16 games in a row: "At one point we need to manage him as well, but at the moment he just keeps running. He seems to be in a good shape. Today he didn't play the full 90 minutes, also manage the energy from the players like this."
On Brighton fans getting excited about winning the competition: "They should dream, that's what I always say. We focus on work. We focus on the things we can control. They should dream and hopefully at one point we can fulfil their dream."

I think the injection of Brian Brobbey and Trai Hume was key.
Hume had a great strike, and you talk about putting your body on the line. I think Dinamo Zagreb put their body on the line and nullified Sunderland's threat. But Sunderland need something to drop, a little bit of luck going their way, and if they sure that desire like they did in the second half then hopefully they can build some momentum on that.

It's always heartbreaking for a team and a manager to concede from a set-piece. When you're a team that's struggling to keep a clean sheet, you don't want to concede from a set-piece because someone's lost their man, someone's switched off and lost concentration.
That seems to be the running theme from Sunderland, whether it's from set-pieces or open play. I felt they didn't really get going.
Ultimately, they're in a competition where the class is a step above for them at the moment.
Sorry Regis but enough is enough, we look a pale imitation of the side that qualified for Europe last season and although the summer recruitment was poor the tactics and team selections this season have been way off what has been expected.
BBC Sport understands Regis Le Bris will be given more time to turn things around at Sunderland but it is almost like the Frenchman has become a victim of his own success.
Doing so well in the Premier League last season means expectations were high this campaign but, realistically, the demands of playing every Thursday and Sunday seem to be taking their toll.
There were some big results in Europe this evening. In the Europa League Juventus have held on to win 2-1 at AZ Alkmaar, while Marseille have smashed and grabbed their way to a 1-0 win at Bayer Leverkusen.
Benfica have defeated Lech Poznan 3-1 in Lisbon, but Spanish side Celta Vigo have lost 2-1 at home to Belgium club Union Saint-Gilloise .
In the earlier games Crystal Palace drew 1-1 with Hoffenheim and AC Milan lost 2-0 at home to Hungarians Ferencvaros .
Feel sorry for Sunderland. It's a results driven business and they are a good bet for relegation. Their achievements of last season are now a distant memory.
A first defeat for Sunderland in the Europa League this season.
And things won't get any easier for them this weekend as they face Chelsea at the Stadium of Light looking for a win to help get them off the foot of the Premier League table.
It's all over in Glasgow, Celtic have won a classic holding on for their first points in this season's Europa League.

Can Brighton play better? Yes. But what I will say is they have had a tough run of fixtures, and then they're here away again, so it's been a tough period for them in terms of the squad rotation, and the fixtures that they have had to come up against. But those travelling Brighton fans will enjoy the victory.
In the second half they showed tremendous character. They controlled the game a bit better, and neither side really took the game to the other but Brighton will certainty be delighted with the win.
Not really much that Le Bris could do tonight. The goals conceded were poor and the attack has been wasteful against a very stubborn Zagreb.
More boos at full time. From those fans that are left inside the Stadium of Light anyway.
Disappointing defeat for Sunderland.
Don Hutchison Former Sunderland midfielder on TNT Sports
It just won't happen for Sunderland in this second half. Regis Le Bris' men have tried for him but the first half was the undoing of Sunderland tonight.
We're into four minutes of added time and it is just not happening for Sunderland.
Most of the home fans have left to be honest.
Brighton move into the Conference League top eight - and they are yet to concede a goal.
A clear foul throw by Getafe is missed by the officials. Can they get it into the box?

Sunderland were jeered by the Stadium of Light crowd as their worrying form continued with defeat by Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League.
Struggling at the bottom of the Premier League, a first European loss of the campaign for the Black Cats will only increase pressure on head coach Regis le Bris.
Luka Stojkovic volleyed Dinamo in front in the 22nd minute and there were loud boos from the home fans when in-form striker Dion Beljo doubled the lead 17 minutes later, neatly lifting the ball past Robin Roefs.
The Sunderland supporters voiced their displeasure again at half-time.
Le Bris made a quadruple substitution for the start of the second half, leading to a much-improved performance, but there was no way back for the hosts and more booing rang out at full-time.
Despite the loss on Thursday, their two wins to start the competition mean Sunderland are still reasonably well placed to advance. Like Dinamo, they sit outside the top eight on goal difference halfway through the league phase.
More concerning is their Premier League form, with their only win coming back in August. This latest setback makes Sunday's home game against Chelsea all the more significant, particularly for Le Bris.
Why is it going so wrong for Le Bris at Sunderland?
Have your say on Sunderland's performance
The first real chance went to Sunderland with Jules Ahoka timing his run into the box to meet Chris Rigg's cross but directing a header straight at the goalkeeper.
At the other end, Beljo's shot on the turn was heading in before a block from Granit Xhaka deflected it behind.
Sunderland's relief was short-lived as Xhaka could only glance the resulting corner to Stojkovic, who controlled on his chest before thumping home the volley from 15 yards.
Two minutes later, Stojkovic and Beljo combined to set up Mislav Orsic, who skipped past Roefs but had his shot cleared off the line by Thomas Meunier.
Meunier's miscued cross almost crept in for a Sunderland leveller but bounced back off the far post, and a bad night quickly got worse.
The Stojkovic and Beljo link-up brought the second goal for the slick visitors, with the former pouncing on Kevin Danso's poor clearance and chipping a ball through to Beljo, who provided the delicate finish.
Anger was palpable among the home fans and Le Bris' changes at the break suggested he shared their frustration.
Sunderland thought they had the perfect start to the second half when Wilson Isidor headed in a Xhaka free-kick just 71 seconds after the restart, but replays showed he was offside and the goal did not stand.
Chances for Trai Hume, Danso and Brian Brobbey came and went as hopes of a comeback faded.
The ferocity of the booing seemed to subside at full-time, whether as a result of the team's second-half effort or the fact many fans had already left.
Regardless, another poor result leaves Sunderland team devoid of confidence, still seeking the match, or even the moment, that might breathe life into their ailing campaign.
