​Murray form pleases Brighton manager Hughton

Brighton manager Chris Hughton is delighted by the form of striker Glenn Murray.

While Brighton fans are excited to see summer signing Florin Andone in action against Southampton on Monday, Hughton is still banking on Murray to deliver for his side.

The veteran attacker shone against Manchester United in a famous 3-2 win.

Hughton said to Sky Sports: "He has been good, Glenn. It's something that we're used to, he goes about his business the right way. He knows what his strengths are.

"Particularly at his age, he prepares himself and looks after himself as well as any professional. And that gives him a chance.

"What we have at the moment, with Andone playing [on Friday for the U23s], is real good competition. I think that type of competition is good for all our team, and particularly for our front players. Glenn has benefitted from that."
