Brighton secured victory at the American Express Community Stadium as they extended their victorious head-to-head record against Wolves to three games.

A 48th-minute goal from Glen Murray was good enough to secure a victory for The Seagulls.

Wolves best chance of the game came courtesy of Ruben Neves' shot that was headed away by Lewis Dunk from underneath his own bar.

Knockaert gave the visitors a first-half lead with a low shot past Andy Lonergan, but TV replays highlighted that the Frenchman was lucky not to be flagged offside.

The Seagulls made the points safe when Knockaert capitalised on Ivan Cavaleiro losing possession to score his 15th goal of the season.
