Brighton & Hove Albion vs West Ham United
Brighton started the game well, but haven't got the ball into the penalty area enough and their best chance fell to Caicedo early on, after he forced Fabianski into a smart save from the edge of the box. They'll need to improve in the second period if they are to get back into this.

Antonio's superb strike just before the break has fired West Ham into the lead at half-time, after a slow opening half that looked like it would end goalless. Neither side showed much urgency to get forward, with little action in the final third, but Antonio broke the deadlock after 40 minutes out of nowhere to make it 1-0. As it stands they'll finish sixth and secure Europa League footbal next season as Man United are losing against Palace.
