Spirited Albion suffer play-off heartbreak again
Albion's promotion hopes ended this evening when they drew 1-1 at home to Sheffield Wednesday in the second leg of the Championship play-offs.
The Owls had won 2-0 in the first leg at Hillsborough on Friday and, despite an excellent performance from the Seagulls in the first half especially, they were unable to turn the tie around.
It’s a third defeat in the play-off semi-finals in four seasons for Albion as their winless record in play-off matches increased to six matches.
