4:25pm: Full-Time: Brighton finish with the win. Good game from both teams. Norwich started fighting in the second half and they’ve had good game defensively. Brighton’s win was earned the hard way, they defended their lead most of the second half. Great game from Hernandez for Norwich, still think he was very bright for them even though he went off in the 67th minute. Lamptey had a great game too. He was brilliant in defence and attack and was a contender for my man of the match. However, my man of the match is Propper. His work rate and defending was brilliant and his vital clearances helped the game over the line.
