Comments:

League position: 17th Brighton and Hove Albion had now lost five consecutive games in all competitions for the first time since April 2005. The Seagulls had now lost five of their last seven home games in the Premier League (won one). Albion had now taken 12 points from their last 18 games in the Premier League (won three, lost 12).

Comments:

League position: 18th A defeat in this game would have left Cardiff City eight points adrift of safety with only four games left to play. This was the first time that the Bluebirds had led at half-time in an away game in the Premier League (played 35). City had lost six of their seven preceding games in the Premier League (won one).
