Akpom partnered top goalscorer Glenn Murray in attack for Chris Hughtonâs side in Saturdayâs clash with Blackburn Rovers, but failed to impress and was replaced by Hemed after 58 minutes.
Hemedâs cameo appearance proved to crucial, with the 29-year old involved in the build up to Murrayâs match winning goal.
Championship stats compared Akpom and Hemedâs performances, which showed how the two strikers had contrasting fortunes on Saturday.
Akpom managed just 12 touches in 58 minutes, losing possession twice and failing to register a shot. In half that time, Hemed achieved ten touches along with a key pass and a shot, helping Hughtonâs side record a victory.
The 1-0 triumph over Blackburn helped the Seagulls move nine points clear of third-placed Huddersfield Town, strengthening their hold on an automatic promotion place in the Sky Bet Championship.
Hughtonâs side host Birmingham City at the Amex Stadium this evening, where victory will see Brighton return to the top of the Championship table.
