Albion were hailed as ruthless by Alan Shearer after their 4-1 win at Wolves.

The former England striker focused on the Seagulls for Match Of The Day.

He told viewers: “If you are not at it, this Brighton team will ruthlessly punish you.

“That is exactly what they did to Wolves.

“If you don’t stay with your runners, they will punish you.

“They move the ball so quick, they are exceptional at their passing.

“The pass and the finish will be superb.

“They were brilliant today, as they were last week.”

Strangely, the MOTD pundit opted not to look at Kaoru Mitoma’s sensational opening goal.

But Shearer praised an “unbelievable pass” by Billy Gilmour in the build-up to the third goal.

He put the fourth down to a “fantastic ball” by Julio Enciso and a “brilliant finish” from two-goal Solly March.
