Russell Slade clinched his first win as Brighton boss with a crushing victory over his former club Yeovil.

Dean Cox fired home the first and set up the second, flicking the ball to Nicky Forster to score.

Yeovil's Gavin Tomlin hit the post just before Forster struck from 10 yards and two late goals completed the rout.

Glenn Murray's penalty after a hand ball, and Cox's second following Yeovil keeper Josh Wagenaar's sending off for a second bookable offence.
