From the BBC match report that day: "The Seagulls were rewarded for their bright start in the eighth minute when Glenn Murray collected Elliott Bennett's pass to fire home. Walsall pulled level when Marc Richards powered in a drive, but Nicky Forster's clever volley restored Brighton's lead.
"It proved to be the winner, though Adam Virgo had to clear off his line from Troy Deeney's shot to seal it."
