Only a spell of horror can keep the Seagulls out of the Europa League, as they have just two days to go with a three-point lead over Aston Villa (7th), with just one game left to play to play In the worst case of all, Brighton will play in the Conference League.
The victory was put on the track by the young Evan Ferguson, who at the age of 18 scored his first Premier double (21′ and 29′).
Southampton, already relegated, improved the game after the break, closing the gap with a header from Elyouanoussi (58′) and leveling with a goal from Walcott on the counter (63′). However, VAR disallowed the ‘saints’ second for offside.
Brighton understood the warning, they conceded immediately after a dry shot from Gross and proved Europe for De Zerbi’s men.
