DONCASTER 1-3 BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION

Brighton continue their good away form with a win away at Doncaster who have now lost three in a row and conceded eleven times.

Three minutes is all it really took for Doncaster to show Brighton they're nothing like a wounded animal.Mark Duffy sent a free kick over the bar to scare Kuszczak.

Oscar Garcia was a talented midfielder back in his Barca days and scored some beauties.That being said,he'll have been pleased with teenage midfielder JAKE FORSTER-CASKEY whose volley from thirty yards curled past Ross Turnbull.Five minutes later,Will Buckley tested Turnbull.

Korean Yun Suk Young used his pace down the wing to outsmart Stephen Ward before passing to Coppinger.Coppinger set Yun through but his effort flew past the Seagulls goalkeeper.

In the second half,both teams looked unsteady and it took fifteen minutes I et the ball rolling.But when the ball fell to Doncaster,David Cotterill struck an effort straight at Bruno and concussed him badly.The Spaniard had to be taken off.

Seventy-four minutes gone and a free kick from Mark Duffy caused confusion for the Seagulls' back line and no-one marked anyone.This let CHRIS BROWN tap in the ball to equalise much to the delight of the home faithful.

But it wasn't to be a draw.LEROY LITA joined Brighton on-loan from Swansea on Thursday and scored straight from Will Buckley's corner.The strong striker poached the ball under Turnbull's body.

DAVID LOPEZ rounded up a traumatic three weekends for Doncaster and sent the seven hundred and two away fans back to Sussex smiling.

VIEW FROM THE TOUCHLINE

DONCASTER BOSS PAUL DICKOV:
"We played better in the second half and had more intensity about us,which was good to see.I knew that we'd equalise and deserved to just before seventy five minutes."

"The first goal was a perfect strike,the second we conceded all because of Lita having far quicker reactions and time and the third goal was a cracking effort."

"We are a bit disappointed because it's now three defeats in a row.That being said,we did show what we are like and proved we can compete on the day."
