Brighton could learn a few lessons with this cynical fouling display on the break. Nothing wrong with it, all sensible teams do it, but Brighton been caught out a few times this match when a cynical hack booking would work

My understanding is - if Brighton fail to win, Burnley can secure promotion this evening if they beat Queens Park Rangers.

Ref could have taken a pick at about 7 different penalty shouts had Wilson not put it away mind.

Stupid Dunk

I keep switching over to the snooker so I missed the sending off, thought you were having a go at AP!

I missed injury time as well!

If Burnley win now they play away to Charlton in their last game having clinched promotion in the penultimate game.

We were in exactly the same boat last season.

Dunk's challenge was one of those you dont even wait for the ref to pull out the card. He was on a yellow, and then mowed down the Derby lad when he was getting nowhere near the ball. Really stupid idiotic tackle, especially with the season on the line. It might have been him too that was sucked towards the Derby midfielder and left a 10 yard gap for Weimann to waltz in for their goal.

Brighton's goal was classic ball in the box with the keeper up, and all 21 men scrambling for it. As I said though, Stockdale especially had a stonewall penalty had Wilson missed.

Brighton didnt turn up second half and lost to a Derby team that didnt look especially impressive until we gifted them a goal. Not much confidence for the away win at Middlesbrough

One thing you would say regardless who makes it..... the three who come up this year will be the worst collective teams to go up probably in Premier League history.

Middlesbrough's centre back pairing have lead to their best defensive record in the league, but both in the last two years have been unable to get into the Norwich starting line up in a relegation year where they caved in mega goals.

Probably 1998/99 for me - nobody expected Bradford or Watford to get promoted, the latter having won promotion from Division Two at the time. It might have been the first time since no side relegated from the Premier League (in 97/98) won promotion at the first attempt.

Well, well, well! Burnley have taken the lead through a Sam Vokes header from a free kick.

10 minutes to keep a clean sheet, and its premier league football for them.
