Brighton cruised to their fifth victory in their last six matches with a 2-0 victory over Burnley on Saturday afternoon.
Mats Wieffer emerged as the hero at Turf Moor, bagging a brace to help his side move firmly into the race for European football.
The Dutchman opened the scoring after 43 minutes when steering his left-footed strike beyond Martin Dubravka after Pascal Gross drove his cross towards the edge of the penalty area.
But the Seagulls were slow out of the blocks after the restart, and they almost handed Burnley a lifeline back into the game when Bart Verbruggen failed to deal with a cross, allowing Bashir Humphries to convert from close range.
