Brighton & Hove Albion score three goals in 12 first-half minutes on their way to a comfortable pre-season victory over Crawley Town.

Brighton & Hove Albion scored three goals in 12 first-half minutes to guide them to a 3-0 pre-season victory over Crawley Town this evening.

The Seagulls took the lead after just 15 minutes at Broadfield Stadium when Liam Rosenior's cross was acrobatically dispatched by Dale Stephens.

Stephens came close again five minutes later, but Brighton would not have to wait long for a second goal as Tomer Hemed poked home from close range midway through the first half after Kazenga LuaLua's powerful free kick had been parried into his path.

It was 3-0 before the half-hour mark, and again LuaLua proved to be the provider when his cross was passed home by Baram Kayal to effectively end the match as a contest.

Only a fine piece of goalkeeping prevented a fourth right on the stroke of half time as Hemed sent a strike towards goal which was pushed away.

Crawley had a glorious chance to pull one back in the opening exchanges of the second half when David Stockdale was penalised for a foul in the area, but the Brighton keeper made amends to save Simon Walton's spot kick.

Stockdale was forced into another save to deny a Conor Henderson free kick later in the half, but clear chances were few and far between for either side from that point on.

Brighton were able to comfortably see out the victory having done the damage in the opening 45 minutes, leaving them still unbeaten on their pre-season tour.
