Crewe climbed above Brighton and out of the relegation zone with a resounding away win over the managerless Seagulls.

Billy Jones converted from the spot after Craig Davies handled in the box to set the visitors on their way.

A late flurry of goals began with a superb strike from midfielder Steven Schumacher before Jones rifled in his second with a long-range free-kick.

Debutant Gylfi Sigurdsson then stroked home an assured finish two minutes from time as the hosts flagged badly.
