<p>BRIGHTON, England — Brighton virtually guaranteed another season in the English Premier League by beating Leeds 2-0 on Saturday.</p>
<p>Danny Welbeck won the penalty that was converted by Pascal Gross in the 14th minute, then provided the moment of the match by bringing down a high ball with a neat flick before firing home a low shot for the second goal in the 79th.</p>
<p>Brighton moved 10 points clear of the relegation zone with four games remaining and can start planning for a fourth straight year in the top flight.</p>
<p>Leeds struggled without two of its most influential players, holding midfielder Kalvin Phillips and winger Raphinha, who missed the match because of injury.</p>
<p>Neal Maupay and Leandro Trossard missed great chances to earn Brighton an even bigger win at Amex Stadium.</p>
