Mats Wieffer at the double as Brighton push Burnley closer to relegation
Brighton are two points behind sixth-placed Chelsea.
Mats Wieffer’s brace kept Brighton firmly in the hunt for European football next season and edged sorry Burnley closer to the drop.
Wieffer produced two clinical finishes, in the 43rd and 89th minutes, to give Fabian Hurzeler’s side a 2-0 win which moved them to within two points of sixth-placed Chelsea and only one behind Brentford in seventh.
Despite not being at their best, the visitors still had too much for Scott Parker’s team and the hosts, after losing for the 20th time in the league this term, were booed off at the final whistle.
