After a ferocious start from the visitors, Albion took the lead in the 11th minute through Jack Hinshelwood following a sensational assist from Pedro.
The Brazilian then scored his first from the spot 12 minutes later after Dejan Kulusevski fouled Danny Welbeck in the penalty area. Jan Paul van Hecke and James Milner were both denied by the post in the first half as the Seagulls played some stunning football.
Substitute Pervis Estupinan scored a terrific strike from 25 yards out just after the hour mark to seemingly put the game beyond doubt and then Pedro scored his second penalty after Evan Ferguson won a spotkick 15 minutes from time.
