What they Said
โWeโre 31 points behind Brighton and thatโs unacceptable. Iโve got to have a squad of players who can mount a challenge otherwise I wonโt be sitting here [next season].
โWeโve finished 13th and thatโs the lowest Iโve finished in my career.
โThe draw put a bit of a dampener on it [for Brighton] but they have got promoted. For us to be 31 points behind them shows the work Iโve got and weโre as jealous as hell.โ
Steve Bruce, Sunday, 7 May 2017.
*Jack Grealishโs last-minute equaliser for Aston Villa denied Brighton & Hove Albion the Championship title.*
The Premier League-bound Seagulls were beaten by Bristol City and Norwich in their past two games with only three points required to seal top spot.
Glenn Murrayโs penalty after Sam Baldock was fouled by Nathan Baker, who was sent off for the challenge, looked to be sending them towards the title.
However, Grealishโs strike handed top spot to Newcastle, who beat Barnsley.
Chris Hughtonโs side, who confirmed their return to the top flight on 17 April, also miss out on a fourth league title in 16 years - with no other current EFL team having won more league titles since 2000 than the Seagulls.
Villa, good value for their point against Brighton, finish 13th in the Championship after relegation from the Premier League last season.
Henri Lansbury wasted their clearest opportunity prior to Murrayโs opener, heading over the crossbar with the goal at his mercy.
Visiting goalkeeper David Stockdale was also forced into several smart saves - the best to deny Conor Hourihane from long range - but he looked to be at fault for Grealishโs late equaliser.
Having played the last half an hour with 10 men following Bakerโs straight red card, the 31-year-old keeper was wrong-footed by the Villa midfielderโs strike despite appearing to initially have it covered.
Brighton will now have to pick themselves up after their stuttering end to the season as they prepare for their first top-flight campaign for 34 years.
