Brighton Edge Closer to Europe

The Seagulls' dream of returning to European football is becoming increasingly realistic following their fifth win in six matches.

Mats Wieffer was the hero at Turf Moor, delivering a clinical brace that highlighted Brighton's tactical superiority.

The result moves Fabian Hurzeler's side within two points of sixth-placed Chelsea, while Burnley's hopes of survival are fading rapidly.

Hurzeler praised his team's discipline and urged them to 'go all in' for the remainder of the season as they aim for a historic finish in the Premier League standings.
