Norwich 2-0 Brighton: David Stockdale scores two own goals as Canaries punish Chris Hughton's newly-promoted side

Goalkeeper David Stockdale suffered a night to forget for newly-promoted Brighton, scoring two own goals as they were beaten by Norwich on Friday.

Twice the goalkeeper was beaten by long range shots. Twice the ball came back off the woodwork. And twice it cannoned back off the keeper and into the net.

The defeat will not stop Chris Hughton's side from being promoted to the top flight. But the victory for Norwich — which helps them close the gaps on the teams above them in the playoffs — keeps alive Newcastle's faint hopes of pipping the Seagulls to the Championship title.
