Leandro Trossard's winner nudged Norwich City closer to relegation as Brighton all but ensured a fourth straight season in the Premier League with a rare away win.

Norwich boss Daniel Farke dropped Teemu Pukki and Todd Cantwell - his two leading scorers - but the move backfired as the Premier League's bottom club mustered just one serious attempt on target.

Belgian winger Trossard settled the match with a smart finish, sweeping home Aaron Mooy's perfect delivery in what was Brighton's first genuine attack.

Nineteen-year-old substitute Adam Idah was denied an equaliser when he headed against the post in stoppage time.

Norwich remain bottom of the table, seven points from safety with five games left, while Brighton's third away win of the season lifts them nine points above the relegation zone.
