Welbeck’s winner edges Brighton past top-four rivals Bournemouth

Danny Welbeck produced the decisive goal as Brighton & Hove Albion snatched a vital 2-1 win over fellow European hopefuls AFC Bournemouth.

Substitute Welbeck scored within four minutes of his introduction, calmly finishing with his left foot to secure Brighton’s third straight Premier League win and boost their hopes of a top-four finish.

It was Welbeck’s 30th Premier League goal for Brighton, the joint-most for the Seagulls in the competition along with Pascal Gross.

Brighton’s rapid start had earlier been rewarded when Bournemouth goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga clumsily felled Joao Pedro, who opened the scoring with a 12th-minute penalty at the Amex Stadium.
