Alexis Mac Allister missed a penalty before scoring from the spot as Brighton produced an excellent away performance to beat a sluggish Wolves at Molineux.

The Argentine forward saw his a first-half penalty - awarded when Roman Saiss handballed a Solly March cross - strike the foot of the post but then whipped home from the spot nine minutes later after Willy Boly had brought down Danny Welbeck.

Graham Potter's side showed pockets of their vibrant style throughout to create a flow of chances, with Leandro Trossard applying a composed and classy finish to seal the points on 70 minutes.

Wolves' only effort on target too 84 minutes to arrive on a day where they were out-thought and out-played, as Brighton continued a gritty run of form which has seen them only losing one of their last six - to title-chasing Manchester City - picking up 11 points in the process.

Yves Bissouma added a third from 20 yards, finding the bottom corner after a break that epitomised the visitors' display. Brighton move up to ninth on 44 points - their best ever return in the Premier League - while Wolves stay eighth and have now lost three in a row without scoring.

Brighton skipper Lewis Dunk later said: "We performed well. We stopped what they are good at. We have to give credit to ourselves.

"Keeping the ball, passing it, we used our midfielders well to switch the play and it worked.

"It felt weird to score three, to get near the end of the game and be comfortable. It was a great away performance and we have record points in the Premier League now so we are buzzing.

"It's a step in the right direction. At the start of the year we said the target was to beat last year. We have done it now. We had a rough patch but came out of the back of it. We are in a great position now."
