Brighton boost European hopes with big win at Southampton

They doubled their advantage early in the second half as Georginio Rutter finished inside the area after being set up by Yankuba Minteh.

Kaoru Mitoma added another with a similar clipped finish before Jack Hinshelwood wrapped things up for the Seagulls.

Brighton move up to eighth in the table, a point clear of Fulham, ahead of Aston Villa’s match with Chelsea.

Southampton remain bottom of the table and 13 points adrift of safety.
