Brighton beat Rotherham 3-0 to go top of the Championship.
Brighton made it back-to-back victories on Tuesday night to go top of the Championship.
Chris Hughton’s side took the lead after 23 minutes through Anthony Knockaert, and then doubled their lead three minutes later when Glenn Murray converted Leroy Rosenior’s cross to score his third goal of the season.
It was 3-0 in the 58th minute as Tomer Hemed scored from the penalty spot after Murray was fouled in the box. The Israeli forward notched 16 goals last season, and opened his account for this season from 12 yards.
The result puts Brighton top of the league, with no goals conceded and back-to-back 3-0 victories at home.
