Burnley 1-1 Brighton:

Aro Muric’s shocking error costs Clarets in Premier League survival hunt

Another Aro Muric mistake in the Burnley goal cost the Clarets a precious victory in their bid for Premier League survival, with Brighton escaping from Turf Moor with a 1-1 draw.

Burnley were leading 1-0 going into the latter stages of the game through Josh Brownhill’s scrappy opener, with the substitute closing down Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen’s clearance, a scoreline which could have moved Vincent Kompany’s side within four points of safety.

Nottingham Forest 2-2 Wolves:

Morgan Gibbs-White scores against old club but Matheus Cunha double earns draw

Nottingham Forest were held to an entertaining 2-2 draw with Midlands rivals Wolves at the City Ground, leaving them one point better off than 18th-placed Luton, who currently occupy the final relegation place.

Matheus Cunha’s brilliant solo opener, assisted by goalkeeper Jose Sa, was cancelled out by a Morgan Gibbs-White header in first-half stoppage time, who taunted his former club by celebrating vociferously in front of the travelling Wolves fans.

Brentford 2-0 Sheffield United:

Oliver Arblaster own goal and Frank Onyeka strike send Blades closer to drop

Brentford ended a nine-game winless streak that had left their top-flight status in the balance by securing a 2-0 victory that pushes Sheffield United closer to Premier League relegation.

An immediate return to the Sky Bet Championship now appears a foregone conclusion for Chris Wilder’s side after Oliver Arblaster’s unwanted intervention from Mikkel Damsgaard’s cross (63) – the sixth own goal Sheffield United have conceded this season – put the hosts ahead.
