Premier League round-up: Brighton's European hopes dented with late Leeds winner

"It was not supposed to happen like this for Brighton. A first-half display of real quality, two posts struck, a gilt-edged Welbeck chance cleared off the line by Ethan Ampadu - and then, with the game apparently petering out into a goalless draw, Jan Paul van Hecke played a casual back-pass that Calvert-Lewin had been waiting for all afternoon. The striker intercepted, rounded Verbruggen, and rolled into an empty net. It was Leeds' first shot on target of the match."

"The victory lifts Daniel Farke's side to 13th in the table, with Leeds now heading to West Ham on the final day in remarkably strong form. Brighton remain seventh, and their grip on European football for next season has loosened significantly heading into their final game against Manchester United."

Palace were rampant after that, striking the post through Sarr again and having Jorgen Strand Larsen hit the woodwork before Dango Ouattara equalised in controversial fashion - a deflection off Canvot's header, which then struck Ouattara's temple and looped into the net."

Then, in the 88th minute, Kayode's long throw was flicked on by substitute Sepp van den Berg and Ouattara was there ag"

Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored the winner in the sixth minute of stoppage time to end Brighton’s hopes of finishing in European places. Brighton had a strong first half, hitting two posts and creating chances, but a back-pass error allowed Calvert-Lewin to intercept, round the goalkeeper, and score from close range. The result lifted Leeds to 13th and left Brighton’s grip on European qualification loosened ahead of a final match against Manchester United. At the Gtech Community Stadium, Crystal Palace took the lead from a penalty and later regained advantage through Adam Wharton. Brentford equalised twice, including a late comeback, to draw 2-2 and keep their own final-day situation alive.
