Bart Verbruggen was the Brighton hero as Igor Thiago saved a stoppage-time penalty to give the Seagulls a 2-1 win over Brentford at the American Express Community Stadium.
Verbruggen saved a stoppage-time penalty from Igor Thiago to give the Seagulls a 2–1 victory.
Saturday's win moved Brighton up to fifth in the Premier League table with 19 points from 12 games following the win over Brentford.
The Bees took the lead through Thiago's first-half penalty, his ninth goal of the season, continuing a run of seven goals in seven matches for Brentford.
His flick to release Django Ouattara in the build-up was even better as the Brentford winger was brought down by Carlos Baleba, who was subbed off at half-time in another poor display from the midfielder.
Brighton had the better performance after the break and while Danny Welbeck missed a great chance to equalize when he fired from 10 yards, they eventually equalized with 20 minutes remaining.
Yankuba Minteh's brilliant cross from the right was converted by the striker who turns 35 on Wednesday.
His chances of an England call-up have increased after he was name-checked by Thomas Tuchel as a substitute during the international break.
And Brighton completed the turnaround with six minutes remaining when substitute Jack Hinshelwood, who had missed the last nine games due to a ligament injury, turned home from the edge of the box after seeing a run by Electric Minteh and having the shot blocked.
