Brighton boss Chris Hughton was delighted with their 1-0 win over West Ham on Friday.

Glenn Murray scored his fifth goal of the season to give Brighton victory over West Ham in an entertaining Premier League match at the Amex.

Murray stroked home Beram Kayal's excellent cross from the left on 25 minutes for the only goal of the game.

The Hammers responded positively, with Marko Arnautovic threatening to equalise before half-time.

The visitors continued to press in the second half, but Brighton held on to claim all three points.

Hughton told Sky Sports: "As the game went on we rode our luck but sometimes you need that. It's a first clean sheet of the season for us and you need a goalscorer. In the end it was our night.

"We had to work hard for it. We made a lot of poor choices on the ball. They are a good side with really good forward options. We had periods of the game where we defended well from the front.

"It's a massive win for us."
