    In the interest of fairness, here's the view of Huddersfield manager David Wagner.

    He told BBC Radio Leeds:

    Quote Message

    I celebrated with my players in the corner and I wanted to jog back into my technical area, but Garry tried to nudge me. I think this is just not OK. Battles should be on the grass with the players, not from the managers' side - this makes totally no sense. In this British football culture it seems to be disrespectful if I celebrate with my players - it is different in Germany to be fair.

    Leeds boss Garry Monk has given BBC Radio Leeds his view on what happened in the aftermath of Huddersfield's winning goal in the West Yorkshire derby.

    Both Monk and Huddersfield manager David Wagner were sent to the stand after both benches got involved in an altercation.

    Quote Message

    I've been brought up with the values of having humility, respect and a bit of class, and that's not come back towards us. If someone else goes against those values I think it's wrong - they're my values, humility respect and class, and I don't think he (Wagner) showed any of that.

    Goals in the opening 25 minutes of this match from Jota and Harlee Dean have put Brentford firmly in control.

    The second-placed Seagulls are set for a third successive defeat as it stands.

    Approaching half-time at Griffin Park and Brentford are on the attack.

    A third before the break would surely kill this match off.

    Sloppy play from the hosts and they're lucky not to be punished.

    Jamie Murphy latches on to the ball after lax play in the Brentford defence but the Scot puts his shot wide.

    Brighton winger Anthony Knockaert whips a free-kick into the area that Bees keeper Dan Bentley deals well with.

    Brighton need to get the Frenchman in the game if they are to come back into this.

    Brentford are getting about their business really well today.

    They're playing with a really high level of energy that Brighton can not match at the moment.

    Dean Smith, who saw star striker Scott Hogan depart for Aston Villa for £12m on Tuesday, will be delighted with how his side are playing.

    Close to one back for the visitors.

    A free-kick is whipped in and Jamie Murphy heads just wide.

    Brighton need a quick response here.

    Well, it appears what Brighton have got is a very leaky defence...

    Incredibly Harlee Dean makes it 2-0 to the hosts with a back post header from a Jota corner.

    The Seagulls have now conceded eight goals in their last two and a quarter matches.

    So, what have you got Brighton?

    Knocked out of the FA Cup by non-league Lincoln and then well beaten by Huddersfield on Thursday they now trail at Griffin Park.

    It's been a fairly even opening but the Seagulls are facing a third straight defeat as it stands.

    What was it I was saying about goalmouth action?

    The Bees take an early lead thanks to a lovely finish from Jota after a ball into the box from Josh Clarke.

    Not too much to report in terms of goalmouth action so far.

    Brighton striker Glenn Murray goes down after a clash of heads with Brentford defender Harlee Dean. The Bees man is not impressed.

    First chance of the day goes the way of the visitors.

    Veteran midfielder Steve Sidwell rolls back the years to dart into the box but his header goes over the bar.

    A Brighton win today will lift the Seagulls back to the top of the Championship.

    Chris Hughton's side were well beaten at play-off chasing Huddersfield on Thursday and he'll expect a response today.

    Brentford thumped Aston Villa on Tuesday and a win today would keep their very faint play-off hopes alive.

    If you're just joining us for the first time today then you've missed an absolute cracker.

    Three goals, a last minute winner and both managers sent to the stands to be precise.

    Let's see what Brentford v Brighton has in store for us.

    After all we've just witnessed, I feel a brief interlude is in order.

    We're going to take a break, but we'll be back and raring to go ahead of second placed Brighton's trip to Brentford.

    Swindon 1-2 Oxford

    Amid all the excitement in West Yorkshire, Oxford came from behind to record a derby victory at Swindon.

    Fankaty Dabo gave the hosts a first half lead but goals from Liam Sercombe and Rob Hall saw Michael Appleton's men take the win.

    To compound their misery, the hosts had goalkeeper Lawrence Vigouroux sent off late on.

    FT: Huddersfield 2-1 Leeds

    All the talk will be about the brawl, between both players and managers, which followed Huddersfield's 89th minute winner, but let's not forget that was also an exhilarating derby.
