Brighton are off and running after victory over West Brom.

The Seagulls broke both their Premier League duck and goal drought in style by thumping West Brom 3-1 at the Amex Stadium.

Midfielder Pascal Gross bagged a brace and laid on the third for Tomer Hemed as the Seagulls stunned Tony Pulis' usually robust Baggies.

Brighton boss Chris Hughton remarked: “We're certainly feeling a lot better now, four points off the mark and a first win, but we need to take this one forward.

“I think it has to be [feeling of relief], there were [good] signs in the last game but one point from nine, irrespective of what team you are, is not such good viewing.

“But I think we thoroughly deserved it and the scoreline reflected the game, we were on very good form from the first moment.

“There were some really good performances and that allowed us to build on the performance at Watford just before the international break.

“It's a good platform because it's our first win, but we are very, very conscious of how difficult this division is - we've seen that from our first four games."
