Brighton 0-3 Brighton: Weghorst inspires Clarets to first win since October

Burnley climbed off the bottom of the Premier League table after beating Brighton at the Amex Stadium for their first away win of the season.

Wout Weghorst opened his account for the Clarets and Josh Brownhill added a second before half-time. Aaron Lennon then made sure just over 20 minutes from time.

Brighton dominated possession but managed only one shot on target, and they were bullied by Dutchman Weghorst at the back, where they were missing the suspended Lewis Dunk and injured Adam Webster.

A fast start almost saw Burnley take the lead when Connor Roberts spotted Robert Sanchez off his line and curled an effort off the bar.
