GLENN MURRAY gave Brighton the three points as Swansea's shocking home run continued.
The striker's first-half goal was the difference between the teams at the Liberty Stadium.
Defeat leaves Swansea hovering above the relegation zone and their brittle confidence means they look set to face a long battle with the drop this season.
Paul Clement's men started well, dominating possession in the South Wales sunshine.
Kyle Naughton's cross to Jordan Ayew was well stopped by Shane Duffy as the hosts pushed for an opener.
New England call-up Tammy Abraham was lively in attack, but any misplaced passes from those in white were met with boos by Swansea's frustrated home crowd. It allowed Brighton to grow in confidence.
Federico Fernandez was booked for wiping out Murray and minutes later, he put the Seagulls ahead. Anthony Knockaert's cross from the right found Murray who escaped the static Fernandez and bundled the ball home.
Brighton should have been further clear by the break as Swansea wilted.
