Barnsley 2, Albion 1 - Seagulls scuppered

Albion have again scuppered the chance to move into a play-off place after a mediocre display against bottom of the league Barnsley, losing 2-1.

Former Swansea forward Jason Scotland put the home side ahead with an effort inside the penalty box, but Leonardo Ulloa levelled the game with a close range header. Albion’s delight lasted just five minutes, however, as Chris Dagnall regained the lead for the Tykes. Brighton had a penalty of their own towards the end of the game, but Luke Steele saved from Ulloa.
