Seagulls can swoop and claim play-off final berth

Brighton v Crystal Palace

Palace's best chance of reaching the Championship play-off final was by winning the first leg against Brighton.

Not only did they fail to do that but they also lost prolific striker Glenn Murray for the return leg and Brighton look all over the winners.

The Eagles needed a win at Selhurst Park because their only previous win in ten was against Peterborough. They'd limped into the play-offs and they still look like they're limping.

Brighton, in much better form, should have won in London and I have no doubt they'll make sure in the second game.
