Jurgen Locadia adeed to an Anthony Knockaert effort and Glenn Murray's double on his Premier League debut to wrap up a convincing victory for Brighton at Swansea.

Tammy Abraham grabbed a consolation for Swansea but it was a miserable afternoon for the Welsh team who saw their relegation worries worsen. 

Brighton were in control right from the start and recorded back-to-back home victories for the first time since September. 

Swansea had seen their form improve dramatically under Carlos Carvalhal, unbeaten in ten going into today, but this was a demoralising loss. They were never in the game and looked second best against another bottom half side. 

Abraham's effort was Swansea's only shot on target of the entire game, as Brighton marshalled them with ease. 

Brighton have moved up to 12 in the table, while Swansea sit 18th on 27 points.
