Kazenga LuaLua was Albion's match winner again as they made cup progress.
But a much-changed Seagulls side did not really impress in their 1-0 win at Southend.
The Championship outfit flirted with early elimination from the Capital One Cup.
But LuaLua latched on to a precise Danny Holla pass in the third minute of added time to coolly slide home the winner .
Tomer Hemed, on as sub, started the move with a touch of quality.
Another summer signing also played a key role in the win.
Southend, who improved in the second half, would have arguably deserved to sneak through.
But LuaLua was always a threat and, for the second game in a row, proved decisive.
