Dominic Calvert-Lewin snatches Leeds a last-gasp victory against Brighton

Dominic Calvert-Lewin struck a stoppage-time winner as Leeds dealt Brighton’s hopes of European football next season a blow with a 1-0 win at Elland Road.

Calvert-Lewin pounced on a mistake by Brighton defender Paul van Hecke in the sixth minute of added time to snatch victory for Leeds, who climbed up to 13th place in the Premier League table.

Daniel Farke’s side extended their unbeaten top-flight run to eight matches and left Brighton’s hopes of European football for just the second time in their history resting on the final game of the season.

Leeds failed to muster an effort on target until Calvert-Lewin pounced to score his 14th league goal of the season, but turned in a disciplined display to keep Brighton at bay.
