Brighton ended a six-match winless streak with a 2-0 victory at Brentford on Saturday, easing pressure on manager Fabian Hurzeler. Diego Gomez and Danny Welbeck scored the goals that secured the crucial three points at the GTech Community Stadium. The win moves Brighton up to 10th in the Premier League table.

The victory was particularly important for Hurzeler, whose side had endured a difficult run of form with five draws and one loss in their previous six league games. Brighton's attacking duo delivered when it mattered most, with Gomez breaking the deadlock before Welbeck doubled the lead. The performance showed signs of the form that had seen Brighton compete strongly earlier in the season.

For Brentford, the defeat extends their winless run to four matches and leaves them just two points above the relegation zone in 16th place. The Bees have now lost three of their last four home games and will need to rediscover their home form quickly to avoid being dragged into a relegation battle. Brighton, meanwhile, will hope this result provides the momentum needed to climb further up the table.
