Here are the half-time stats from the Amex.

Brighton may have had more efforts, but QPR have had the home defenders worried on quite a few occasions.

Former Brighton midfielder Warren Aspinall was full of admiration for Sam Baldock's goal on BBC Sussex...

"What a great turn of pace and first touch from Sam. It was on his weaker foot. Smithies is one of the best keepers in the division but the pace of the shot beats him."

Keith Stroud blows the half-time whistle.

Albion manager Chris Hughton will surely be the happier of the managers at the break.

Brighton are heading for the top of the Championship table, and look like they will extend their unbeaten league run to 17 matches.

The free-kick was a decent effort from Anthony Knockaert, given the range, but curls just over the bar.

That never had enough dip to go in but it had Rangers keeper Alex Smithies worried.

We are into one added minute at the Amex.

Brighton win a free-kick 30 yards out as former Albion man Grant Hall slides in on Glenn Murray.

Anthony Knockaert is sizing this one up.

Albion threaten twice in quick succession.

First Lewis Dunk's back-post header is kept out by Alex Smithies, then Sam Baldock has another header deflected over.

The hosts are starting to reassert their dominance.

Brighton defender Shane Duffy has an effort from a corner from the right, but the ball goes nowhere near Alex Smithies' goal.

Moments later Anthony Knockaert bursts into the QPR box and his cross goes behind for a corner.

Ian Holloway says his side have not deserved to lose their last five games on the strength of their recent performances.

You could well argue QPR have been the better side so far this afternoon.

But, the important stat is that they trail 1-0 at the Amex.

Albion pull off a training ground move from the resulting corner, as Bruno and Anthony Knockaert combine to set up Dale Stephens for an effort just outside the box.

The midfielder blasts over the bar.

Straight back down the other end and Brighton could have doubled their lead.

Anthony Knockaert plays in Sam Baldock in space in the area.

Rather than shoot and get his second of the game, Baldock looks to square it back across goal for Glenn Murray in space, but his ball is cut out.

QPR are playing so well.

Gaetan Bong makes a last-ditch covering challenge to deny Massimo Luongo a sight of goal and then cuts out a cross from Pawel Wszolek.

The visitors are playing some slick football.

QPR forward Idrissa Sylla gets the better of the Brighton defence again and really should have levelled things up.

He chests down a ball uinto the box and holds off the challenge of Lewis Dunk.

But he drags his left-footed shot just wide of the post.

Another warning for the Seagulls.

Brighton left-back Gaetan Bong tries his luck from just outside the area and that skews wide.

The Cameroonian has never scored for Albion and that kind of effort won't change his record.

Albion are having their best spell since going ahead.

Brighton fans think winger Solly March as got the better of James Perch and got into the box, but referee Keith Stroud blows for a foul against the Albion man.

Albion keeper David Stockdale has to be alert again.

Idrissa Sylla tries his luck from a narrow angle after a good team move from the visitors, which culminated in Pawel Wszolek bursting into the box.

Stockdale manages to get a foot to the ball and clear it away from danger.

QPR are playing very well at the moment, belying their current run of results.

Brighton come so close to doubling their lead.

Shane Duffy heads the corner delivery back across goal and Glenn Murray has a free header.

However, the striker places his header wide of Alex Smithies' right-hand upright. Murray will be kicking himself about that one as he should have notched his 15th of the season.

QPR come forward again with a great team move and Oliver Norwood makes a great challenge to deny Idrissa Sylla a shooting chance.

Albion counter and Solly March wins a corner after bursting into the box.

It's been all QPR since the goal and the visitors have been on top, with Brighton's defence having to be alert.

Keeper David Stockdale gets a chance to relieve the pressure but his clearing kick goes straight out of play.

Massimo Luongo has another effort from range but this one drifts wide of the goal.

Brighton clear the initial danger from the corner but QPR come forward again.

A poor clearance falls to Massimo Luongo, who fizzes a shot towards goal, but Albion keeper David Stockdale gets a strong hand to it and it goes behind for another corner.

Jake Bidwell delivers an inswinging ball from the right and Albion striker Glenn Murray heads it behind for a corner from just in front of Nedum Onuoha.
