Almost nothing seems impossible after this. Maybe West Brom really will escape relegation despite still being far from safety. A match featuring two missed penalties by Brighton and one monumental farce triggered by the referee proved yet again that many strange things happen in
Football. One thing that is certain is Brighton are in a serious fight for
Premier League survival, and they need to sharpen their finishing.
Brighton were already trailing to Kyle Bartley’s close-range header when the match lapsed into absurdity just before the half-hour, when Lewis Dunk thought he had struck an equaliser for the visitors, only for his supposed goal to be disallowed, then allowed, then disallowed again.
