Gus Poyet praised his match winners as Albion enjoyed a 2-0 success at Oldham today.
Elliott Bennett fired into the top corner as the Seagulls extended their impressive form with a seventh victory on the road in League One this season.
A clumsy Jon Worthington own goal and Peter Brezovan's brilliant penalty save from Pawel Abbott secured the points.
Poyet said: "It wasn't one of the greatest games, especially in the first half.
"Maybe we were too complacent with our position.
"But as soon as we started playing, particularly after the goal from Elliott which was from another game, I think we controlled the game.
"There were key moments - the goal and starting the seocnd half much better.
"We really started playing our game and we were in control so they couldn't create chances.
"The second goal came with a little bit of luck but I thought we totally deserved it at that time.
"And of course the save of the game. I don't know if you are going to see a better penalty save than that one.
"We needed something special today.
"There were some periods when it was not the best game but you need to be resilient and you need someone to stand up ahead of the rest.
"Today the goal from Elliott and the save from Peter came up to a really high level."
