Steven Gerrard's Aston Villa grabbed a late winner against Brighton as the new manager began life after Rangers with a victory.
Gerrard departed Ibrox to take the reins at Villa Park following the dismissal of Dean Smith.
His Villa had slipped into an early season relegation battle but Gerrard has helped breathe life into their campaign with a dramatic win over the Seagulls.
Striker Ollie Watkins struck late on to sink Graham Potter's side, just when the Premier League clash looked set to finish goalless.
Captain Tyrone Mings made the points safe as his second killed off any hope of a Brighton revival in the closing minutes.
But it was Watkins' goal that provided the moment of the afternoon.
He received the ball just inside Brighton's half and he immediately set off for goal with just six minutes to play.
The forward cut inside and took aim at the corner as he curled a sumptuous effort into the net.
The goal took the roof off Villa Park and the joy was crystal clear on Gerrard 's face on the touchline as he celebrated with his coaching staff.
