Brighton 2 Swindon 1Npower League One
RESULT: Brighton & Hove Albion 2 Swindon Town 1 Brighton scorers: Dicker 12 (pen), Murray 64 Swindon scorer: Prutton 22
Despite a wonder strike from David Prutton and a penalty save from Dave Lucas, Swindon's poor run continues.
Brighton were ahead from the penalty spot after Craig Noone was allowed too much space going forward and Frampton brought him down.
But after settling into a rhythm, Swindon recovered strongly and with the majority of pocession eventually got their reward through Prutton, who fired home a thunderbolt from all of 30 yards.
And going into half-time, Town were more than a match for the League One leaders, with the hard-working Calvin Andrew going close and Mike Grella a continual threat.
But just after the American hit the bar, Swindon gave away their second penalty - which Lucas saved - and then conceded the match winner.
Glenn Murray on target with a ferocious shot that gave Lucas little chance.
Town remain in deep trouble at the base of League One with the gap to safety now seven points (eight with an inferior goal-difference) with just eight games to go.
