Chris Hughton believes Albion got a bit of luck as they beat the leaders – but that they deserved their good fortune.
Hughton saw Huddersfield goalkeeper Danny Ward fumble Anthony Knockaert’s shot into his own net on 80 minutes to hand the Seagulls a welcome 1-0 win.
Success over the previously unbeaten Terriers was a perfect way for Albion to re-ignite their campaign after defeats to Newcastle and Brentford.
It was a highly watchable contest – and one in which Albion had the better chances.
Jamie Murphy was denied by Ward*in only the seventh minute in a one-on-one before the Town hero turned villain late on.

“They are a good side. They give you a lot of possession, they drop back and they counter very quickly.
“If you don’t play within a shape, they can punish you. We had to be patient. We created the two best chances in the game, one in each half.
“The bit of luck we got in the game, I thought we deserved.
“I thought we were the better team.”
