Match summary

Brighton & Hove Albion will play in Premier League 2 Division 1 next season after securing promotion with a 2-0 Division 2 play-off final victory against Aston Villa.

Henrik Bjordal gave the visiting Seagulls, who finished two points and a position behind second-placed Aston Villa, the lead at Villa Park with a close-range shot on 23 minutes.

Rushian Hepburn-Murphy had an effort superbly saved by Robert Sanchez as Villa pushed for an equaliser.

But Aaron Connolly headed in Max Sanders' cross to put Brighton 2-0 up on 69 minutes and secure their first Division 1 campaign.

They will join Division 2 champions Blackburn Rovers in the top flight next season.
