MURRAY WORTH A MINT AS SEAGULLS START T0 SOAR AWAY FROM DANGER ZONE

GLENN MURRAY has been hailed as Brighton’s perfect 10 after he scored twice and took his goals tally into double figures.

The veteran now has 10 goals for the Premier League campaign, 12 in all competitions, and is rapidly guiding Albion towards safety.

This result, against a Swans side which hadn’t lost in 10 games, was a real six-pointer and leaves Brighton in 12th spot, four points clear of the drop zone.

Murray, 34, must have been feeling the pressure after Albion signed £14million man Jurgen Locadia on transfer deadline day and brought back forward Leonardo Ulloa from Leicester. Especially after both scored in the FA Cup against Coventry last week.

But he responded in style and left Brighton boss Chris Hughton (right) purring.

Hughton said: “It’s some achievement to get to 10 in the league, especially for a side like us who you knew were going to find it difficult to score goals.

“Glenn has been good for us generally, we all know that. But in the last three or four games he has been very good. And it’s not just his goals but what he’s putting in for the team.

“Overall, this was a very pleasing win. We had to go through a difficult period in the game but as the game opened up we really capitalised and could have had even more.”

Murray won and scored the penalty which put Brighton on their way to victory, and scored the second after the break before leaving the field to a standing ovation.

But the former Crystal Palace and Bournemouth man wasn’t the only hero.

Anthony Knockaert, who has struggled to recreate the form which made him Championship player of the year last season, roared back to his best too.

The winger was a menace all match and crowned an excellent display with a well-taken goal.

Fellow winger Jose Izquierdo was also flying and helped set up substitute Locadia for number four.

Swansea boss Carlos Carvahal changed his system after just 36 minutes, bringing off a bemused Nathan Dyer and replacing him with striker
