Brighton staged a fine fight back on the south coast, as they picked up their first away point of the season.
Southampton enjoyed the better of the first half and went ahead through Hojbjerg's long-range effort on 35 minutes.
The midfielder picked up a loose ball and launched a fierce, low strike past the dive of goalkeeper Mathew Ryan from fully 30 yards.
Opta noted how it's his second goal in two games after a long drought:
Southampton could have opened the scoring before then. Anthony Knockaert blocked an effort from Ings from a Mohamed Elyounoussi corner, and Wesley Hoedt could only fire the rebound off target.
Elyounoussi then headed a glorious chance over the bar after a strong run and cross from Nathan Redmond down the left.
Brighton looked more dangerous after the break but fell further behind on 64 minutes.
Gaetan Bong conceded a penalty for a clumsy challenge on Ings, and the striker dusted himself off to calmly put away the spot kick.
The visitors hit back almost immediately to halve the deficit. A free-kick was swung in by Knockaert and Duffy nodded past McCarthy from close range.
Brighton had over 20 minutes to find an equaliser and came close with just minutes of normal time remaining. A corner in from the right found substitute Jurgen Locadia, but goalkeeper McCarthy just managed to deflect his effort over the crossbar.
There was more drama to follow from the resulting corner, as Brighton were awarded a penalty after a push on Duffy from James Ward-Prowse.
Murray stepped up and calmly converted the kick to secure the comeback. Opta noted his excellent record against the Saints:
It's an excellent result for Brighton who have struggled away from home in the Premier League. The result will feel like a defeat for Southampton who must regroup quickly, as they face Liverpool at Anfield next.
