Brighton kept their first clean sheet of the season as they enjoyed a comfortable 3-0 win against Leeds United.
Danny Welbeck pushed his claim for an England recall as he opened the scoring 10 minutes - his sixth goal of the season.
Paraguay international midfielder then sealed the victory as he scored twice in the second half after excellent assists from Georginio and Yankuba Minteh.
The assist was a nice moment for Georginio against his old club. Albion's £40m record signing has struggled this term and is yet to score this season.
But his contribution to the team is highly-valued by head coach Fabian Hurzeler.
