Brighton and Hove Albion moved two points clear of Newcastle at the top of the Championship with a routine home win against strugglers Birmingham City.
Glenn Murray's 20th goal of the season put Albion ahead on two minutes, turning in Bruno's cross on the run.
Birmingham frustrated the hosts for the rest of the half, but Tomer Hemed chested in a second early on after the break to ease the pressure.
Uwe Hunemeier's fierce shot made it three, before Che Adam's consolation.
Brighton manager Chris Hughton told BBC Sussex: "It was certainly scrappy, the fact we got the early goal normally motivates a team to go on but then we had a difficult period where we rested on that one goal, and you can't afford to do that against anybody.
"I was agitated in that first half, we needed to be more like ourselves. Fortunately we worked better in that second half and took our moments when we needed to do.
"Glenn is one who will always score, he has a knack, even when he's not playing well he gets in the right place at the right time.
"Our hard work has put us in the position [top of the league] but the last two games have shown us it can go either way. If you're not at the levels, it can go dramatically against you."
