DANNY WELBECK proved to be Brighton's supersub as he netted a crucial winner just three minutes after coming on.

The ex-England striker slotted home via the post in a fourth straight win for Fabian Hurzeler's side.

In a top-class encounter, Ryan Christie was unlucky early on for the visitors with Bart Verbruggen saving.

At the other end, Georginio Rutter's header went wide before Kaoru Mitoma's shot went the same way.

Brighton took a 12th-minute lead when Joao Pedro seized on Diego Gomez's pass and was adjudged to have been brought down by Kepa Arrizabalaga.

The ex-Watford striker coolly slotted home his seventh of the campaign.
