Lewis Dunk’s header was the Brighton captain’s fourth goal of the season<\/p>\n

Brighton claimed a vital victory in their quest to avoid relegation from the Premier League and left stuttering Southampton still nervously looking over their shoulders.<\/p>\n

Leandro Trossard’s emphatic finish settled an entertaining Sunday lunchtime south-coast contest, Danny Welbeck’s deft touch freeing the Belgium winger to stride into the box and lash home.<\/p>\n

The Seagulls had taken an early lead through skipper Lewis Dunk’s powerful header from a corner before Che Adams’ close-range volley ensured the Saints headed in level at the break.<\/p>\n

Adams came closest to a second equaliser for Southampton, still without injured leading scorer Danny Ings, but he was brilliantly denied by the outstretched leg of Brighton keeper Robert Sanchez.<\/p>\n

Victory halted a three-game losing streak for Graham Potter’s Seagulls, who climb a place to 16th above Newcastle, three points clear of 18th-placed Fulham and with a game in hand.<\/p>\n

A 10th defeat in 12 league games, meanwhile, keeps Southampton in 14th, very much in the relegation mix, although they still have a seven-point cushion over the Cottagers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
