Brighton suffer first away defeat of the season

Brighton suffered their first away defeat of the season as Leeds strikers Luciano Becchio and Jermaine Beckford showed off their finishing skills in a 3-1 win. The Seagulls were hit by a double salvo just before half-time as first Becchio fired past Michel Kuipers from eight yards at the second attempt in the 45th minute. Then, in the second minute of injury time, 16-year-old left-back Aidan White darted down the left and Fabian Delph's cross brought a fine header from Beckford. Beckford scored his second of the match, and his 13th of the season, in the 90th minute when put through by Delph. There was still time for Glenn Murray to fire home a consolation goal from 12 yards for Brighton just before the final whistle.
