Brighton 0-2 Sheff Wed

Burton (right) saw his cross deflected into Brighton's net

Sheffield Wednesday's second win in three days ensured Championship football for them again next season.

An own goal from Brighton's Gary Hart and late finish from Burton O'Brien meant that the hosts, Crewe and Millwall were all relegated.

Wednesday took the lead when Hart deflected in Deon Burton's cross, and O'Brien sealed the win on 79 minutes.

Owls 'keeper Scott Carson kept the Seagulls at bay, while Dean Hammond was sent off for two bookable offences.

Brighton boss Mark McGhee
"It was a poor game and we went out with a bit of a whimper.

"The players have tried so hard to stay in this division and we've come up a little bit short.

"But it's a long-term job here, and I'm building a squad that I intend to still have when we walk out in our new stadium."

Sheffield Wednesday manager
"I'm delighted for everyone at the club.

"It's been a traumatic season, a rollercoaster, with injuries and players coming and going, but the last five or six weeks we have finally adapted to this league.

"We can grow from this, it will make us stronger, but we have to make sure we are not in a transitional period at the beginning of next season."
