The Seagulls started the brighter side and went close through Danny Welbeck inside 10 minutes, with Tariq Lamptey making marauding runs down the right.
Brighton were awarded a penalty after the ball struck James Ward-Prowse’s flailing hand, gifting the hosts a spot-kick that Pascal Gross smashed home.
But the visitors grew into the game, and Ward-Prowse made amends for his handiwork by picking out Jannik Vestergaard at a corner who sent Saints level with a wonderful header shortly before half-time.
Ings made his return from injury at the interval, coming on alongside Nathan Redmond as they replaced Theo Walcott and Moussa Djenepo, but the striker struggled to have an impact in the tightest of matches.
But VAR drama struck again as Walker-Peters was taken down on the right flank. After a lengthy check, the video assistant referee decided the foul took place inside the box and Ings whacked in the penalty for the winning goal.
