We asked for your thoughts after Sunday's Premier League game between Leeds United and Brighton.

Here are some of your comments:

Leeds fans

David: Thought it was a pretty even game. Brighton looked dangerous when attacking and so did we. Looked like a 0-0 then Dominic Calvert-Lewin capitalised on a Brighton error and we won the game. We defended brilliantly throughout the match. Great win.

Rob: Fantastic win. We carried on playing until the final whistle, soaking up pressure and taking our chance is how you survive in the Premier League. We weren't lucky, just doing our job. I love it.

Mark: Leeds' never-say-die approach is just awesome. Opponents consistently underestimate what a good Premier League team they have become. MOT.

Christine: So proud of Leeds and how they have handled their return to the Premier League. Their tenacity and determination has been first class. To all the so-called fans who were crying out for Daniel Farke's head earlier in the season, bet you are celebrating this win. It annoys me so much when, as soon as a team isn't performing, they want the manager sacked. I have supported Leeds since 1966, lived through the highs and lows and still supported the team. That's what true Leeds fans do. Well done, Leeds, so proud to be a supporter.

Brighton fans

Barry: Extending Fabian Hurzeler's contract now looks questionable after a result like this. Brighton would do better without him.

Joe: Well, the thought of Champions League football next season was a fun one, but let's be honest, we haven't got the attacking strength and depth to compete in the Champions League. Welbeck will need a replacement before long, Rutter has the yips and, for me, Minteh and Gomez are barely top-half Premier League level, let alone Champions League.

Chris: Wasteful is the best way to describe this performance. Wasteful with chances, and wasteful of the opportunity to secure European football again. Brighton have done it the hard way a lot of times in our history, and we are going to have to beat Manchester United to ensure we get it again. That will be some atmosphere at the Amex.

Kevin: Can sum that performance up as Sunday league stuff. Too many sideways or backward passes, no conviction up front and a schoolboy error (again) from Van Hecke, which could cost us a place in Europe. Such a disappointment. When we needed the team to shine, no-one did!

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler has been speaking to Sky Sports following the defeat at Elland Road: "We controlled the game, we had plenty of chances and we should've won.

"The biggest difference was they were lucky and we didn't have the luck in our hands. In the end, it is a very unlucky loss. We have to go on and prepare for the last game [at home to Manchester United]. We have faced a lot of adversity this season, so we will overcome it.

"We played better in the second half. We played with more skill and attacked more. There was more life. I was pleased with the performance.

"We have to stay positive, even though it is a painful loss. We have to overcome the disappointment, prepare well and believe we can still do it. We did a lot of things right."

Did you know?

• Brighton had 19 shots in this match; only on three occasions have the Seagulls had more shots in a Premier League away game without scoring, most recently in April 2024 at Brentford (24 shots).

Brighton travelled to Leeds United knowing a win would secure European football for only the second time in their 124-year history.

But after a dramatic late defeat by the hosts, they now head into final day with a handful of sides fighting for the four remaining European spots in the Premier League.

Leeds - playing with freedom after securing another year of top-flight football - made their life extremely difficult in the first half.

Veltman's shot was blocked by Jaka Bijol and a swerving effort from Gross that needed Darlow to save were the only times they threatened before Van Hecke spurned the gilt-edged chance to put them in front in the 44th minute.

But Fabian Hurzeler's half-time team talk had a clear effect on Brighton, who stepped up a gear after the break.

They generated 13 of their 19 shots in the second half, amassing an expected goals (xG) of 2.76, but remarkably failed to score, with Darlow producing seven saves.

Their profligacy means they are now all but out of the running for a Champions League place and will need to beat Michael Carrick's Manchester United at home next Sunday to guarantee European football.

Whether you were at Elland Road or following from elsewhere, we want to know what you learned.
