Brighton & Hove Albion 1-0 Manchester United: 5 talking pointsÂ
Pascal Gross' header gave Brighton a famous victory over a poor Manchester United to all but secure their Premier League status.
The hosts had the edge for long periods and were rewarded early into the second half, as Jose Izquierdo's blocked cross was headed thunderously by Gross, whose goal had to be confirmed by goal line technology after Marcos Rojo appeared to have initially cleared the German's effort.
The result lifts the Seagulls to 40 points, a usual benchmark to assure one's league status, while United must wait to ensure a second-place finish after a listless display.
Here are the talking points from a celebratory night at the Amex stadium:-
#1 Result may have been different but for Goal Line technology
The Seagulls thoroughly deserved their goal, but one wonders whether it would have stood had goal line technology not come into existence. The technology was installed into the game to help decide results like these, results that could make or break a club's season.
That is exactly what Brighton benefited from, via Gross' header. As Jose Izquierdo's cross - which was initially blocked - found it's way into the danger zone, it was Gross who rose highest and planted a bullet header goalwards.
Marcos Rojo appeared to have cleared it off the line, but a second later Craig Pawson's watch vibrated to signal that the ball had indeed crossed the white paint, resulting in the goal being awarded.
Most officials would have missed that from the naked eye, and technology seemed to have played a pivotal role in sealing a memorable win - and hence, a fantastic season - for Chris Hughton's side.
