Swansea 0-1 Brighton: Glenn Murray follows up player of the month nomination with winner as Seagulls condemn Swans to fourth-straight defeat

Daily Mail | November 4, 2017

It’s taken seven years, but maybe now Chris Hughton will get some of the credit his management career deserves.

The last time he was in the Premier League he got sacked by Newcastle despite taking them to 11th. No chance Brighton will be so hasty now.

The 58-year-old who gained years of experience as Tottenham’s number two has guided the Seagulls into the top flight so smoothly they have now taken 1, 4 points from the last eight games.
