ALBION’S HANDY MURRAY

- BY ALEX CROOK

CHRIS HUGHTON is backing striker Glenn Murray to prove he can cut it in the Premier League.

Murray, 34 on Monday, was prolific in the Championsh­ip and top scorer as Brighton went up.

But his first stint in the top flight with Crystal Palace was ruined by a knee injury and he scored just three times in a year at Bournemout­h in 2015.

Murray (left) is set to return from ankle trouble tomorrow against Newcastle and boss Hughton said: “It’s more difficult to score at Premier League level than in the Championsh­ip, but Glenn has always had a knack of being able to do that.”
