Albion's development side won their first league fixture under new coach Simon Ireland 2-1 at Swansea tonight.
They took the lead in the 22nd minute with a freak goal by the fit-again Adam Chicksen, who got in the way of an attempted clearance.
Rory Donnelly headed Swansea level in the 87th minute but Rohan Ince snatched victory for Albion with an injury time volley.
The Seagulls included in midfield former Aston Villa 19-year-old Josh Barton and Brighton-born Jesse Starkey, 17, who was at Chelsea.
Albion: Walton; Barry, Ince, Dunk, Chicksen; Richards; Barton, Starkey; March, Barker, Dickenson. Subs: Smith, Hunt, Rea, Asmundsson, Goodwin.
