Former England and Aston Villa defender on BBC Radio 5 LiveJoao Pedro is a player who has improved a lot in a very short space of time. £30million? Bargain.

Brighton easily clear the set-piece. That should be that.

Late Villa corner. About a minute to go.

Brighton goal kick. The Seagulls also make a change. Valentín Barco replaces Simon Adingra.
Adingra had a great game in my opinion.

Former England and Aston Villa defender on BBC Radio 5 LiveYou can sense that these Brighton fans think they are not far away from getting the job done here. They do have a good record here.

Four minutes to go. Brighton aren't over the line yet.

Brighton 1-0 Aston Villa
Brighton defend a Villa cross into the box well, and then eventually win a free-kick after a Douglas Luiz handball.

Villa look very tired. Seven minutes of stoppage time remain.

I’ll have to watch MOTD later to see that hopefully I was very wrong and Brighton have found a bit of form to end the season with… it’s not the penalty, it's reading the live text that Brighton deserve it. Good to hear.

Brighton 1-0 Aston Villa
Stephen Warnock
Former England and Aston Villa defender on BBC Radio 5 LiveIt is incredible isn't it? I think everyone thought it would be a formality for Villa to get that Champions League place.
What I found interesting is that Chambers and Moreno were ready to come on, didn't get bought on and then the game slowed down and they had to warm back up and are only coming on now.
SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 15:52 British Summer Time 5 May
Brighton 1-0 Aston Villa
Late changes for Villa. Calum Chambers is on for Ezri Konsa for just his third appearance of the season.
Alex Moreno replaces Lucas Digne.
'It was going to take something like that to beat Olsen'published at 15:51 British Summer Time 5 May
Brighton 1-0 Aston Villa
Stephen Warnock
Former England and Aston Villa defender on BBC Radio 5 LiveHe looked calm as he stepped up, Joao Pedro. It wasn't a great penalty. It's a really smart save. The only thing Robin Olsen can't do is get an arm to it to push it around the post, all he can do is push it back to Pedro. It's another good save he's made today, it was going to take something like that to beat him, but Joao Pedro showed good instinct.

We're into stoppage time at Stamford Bridge. Five minutes added on.

Brighton make some changes to tighten things up. Danny Welbeck and Billy Gilmour come off. Carlos Baleba and Jakub Moder are on.
GOAL - Brighton 1-0 Aston Villapublished at 15:48 British Summer Time 5 May
Joao Pedro (87 mins)
Robin Olsen saves the penalty but the rebound falls kindly for Joao Pedro who heads in on the follow-up!
You've got to say, Brighton deserve it.

Match Facts
Liverpool have lost just one of their last 29 home Premier League matches against Tottenham Hotspur (W19 D9), a 2-0 defeat in May 2011.
Tottenham Hotspur are looking to complete their first league double over Liverpool since the 2010-11 season, beating two different Reds managers that season (Roy Hodgson and Kenny Dalglish). Their last league double over the Reds beating the same manager twice was in Dalglish’s first spell in 1986-87.
Liverpool (3) v Tottenham (3) has provided six 90th-minute winners in the Premier League, the most of any fixture in the competition’s history. Indeed, both of the last two league meetings between the two sides have been won courtesy of a 90th-minute winner for the home team.
Liverpool have conceded the opening goal in 16 Premier League games this season; not since 2004-05 under Rafael Benítez (20) have they done so more in a single campaign. Indeed, the Reds have conceded the opener in four of their last five matches at Anfield in the competition – as many as their previous 22 beforehand.
This will be Liverpool’s 18th Sunday Premier League game this season, only playing more in a single campaign in 2012-13 (20). They’ve won nine of their 17 so far this term (D6 L2), only winning more in 2013-14 (11/15) and 2018-19 (10/13).
Liverpool have lost their last two home games in all competitions, as many as in their previous 57 combined. They’ve failed to score in both defeats, last losing three in a row without reply at Anfield in March 2021.
Tottenham haven’t lost any of their last six away Premier League games on a Sunday (W2 D4), with their last such defeat coming at Anfield against Liverpool in April 2023. Four of their five such games this term have been draws, but they did win their last such match at Aston Villa in March (4-0).
Liverpool have kept just one clean sheet in their last 14 Premier League matches, including none in their last eight since beating Nottingham Forest 1-0 in March. The Reds last went longer without a shutout within a single season in the league from October to December 2004 (9).
Liverpool’s Jürgen Klopp lost his first Premier League meeting with Spurs’ Ange Postecoglou earlier this season. The only manager to win consecutive Premier League games against Klopp is Brendan Rodgers with Leicester in 2021, while the last manager to beat him in his first two top-flight meetings was Louis van Gaal in 2009-10 with Bayern Munich when he was Borussia Dortmund manager.
Tottenham’s Son Heung-min has scored in each of his last four Premier League appearances against Liverpool, putting Spurs 1-0 up in the reverse fixture in September. The only player to score in five consecutive Premier League games against the Reds is Jamie Vardy (between 2016 and 2017)
