In a Premier League match, Mat Wieffer ended a 16-month goal drought by scoring twice, leading Brighton & Hove Albion to a 2-0 victory over Burnley at Turf Moor. This win keeps Brighton's hopes for European qualification alive, placing them ninth, just two points behind sixth-place Chelsea. Burnley, on the other hand, is facing relegation, sitting 12 points away from safety with six matches remaining. The match saw Burnley have an early goal ruled offside, while Brighton's Danni Welbeck failed to capitalize on a defensive mix-up. Wieffer scored his first goal in the 58th minute, finishing a low cross from Pascal Gross, and sealed the victory with a second goal in the final minute. In another match, Everton's Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scored a late equalizer to secure a 2-2 draw against Brentford FC, keeping Everton in contention for European qualification.
