Mats Wieffer delivered a decisive brace as Brighton & Hove Albion claimed a 2–0 away win over Burnley FC on Premier League matchday 32.
The visitors took control just before half-time. In the 43rd minute, Wieffer opened the scoring for Brighton, finishing a move created by Pascal Groß. The goal sent Brighton into the break with a 1–0 lead, rewarding their sharper play in the decisive moments of the first period.
Burnley had disciplinary issues to manage, with Maxime Estève booked on 30 minutes and Florentino cautioned on the hour mark. Brighton’s Jan Paul van Hecke also saw yellow early in the second half, but the away side largely kept their composure as they protected their advantage.
Burnley’s bench was turned to in search of a response. Chimuanya Ugochukwu made way for Jacob Bruun Larsen in the 67th minute, while Marcus Edwards was replaced by Mike Trésor midway through the second half. A triple substitution in the 82nd minute introduced Armando Broja, Lucas Pires and Kyle Walker in a late attempt to shift momentum.
Brighton, however, remained clinical. In the 89th minute, Wieffer struck again to seal the result, this time finishing from an assist by Yasin Ayari to make it 2–0 and secure all three points for the Seagulls.
Roberto De Zerbi’s side (coach not confirmed in the data) also refreshed their attack, bringing on Georginio Rutter and Carlos Baleba in the 75th minute, and later Kaoru Mitoma and Joël Veltman, helping see out the match.
Beyond goals, bookings and substitutions, detailed match statistics and further in-game events are not available in the provided data.
The result strengthens Brighton’s position in the Premier League table, while Burnley face greater pressure in the closing weeks of the season after a home defeat at Turf Moor.
