 Swansea captain Darren Pratley was sent off late at Brighton |
Brighton saw off 10-man Swansea to earn their first League win at Withdean since September. Dean Cox gave the Seagulls an early lead, hitting a 25-yard screamer after picking up an Alex Revell knockdown.
Swansea equalised when Dennis Lawrence nodded in, only for Revell's diving header to restore Brighton's lead.
Revell then fired home through a crowd before Swans captain Darren Pratley was sent off for his second booking and Rory Fallon struck a late consolation.
