Brighton and Hove Albion 1-1 Sheffield Wednesday (1-3 agg.): Carvalhal's men reach Wembley

Ross Wallace scored a vital goal as Sheffield Wednesday endured a Brighton onslaught to reach the Championship playoff final at Wembley.

Sheffield Wednesday came through unrelenting early pressure from Brighton and Hove Albion to steal a 1-1 draw at the Amex Stadium and book a place in the Championship playoff final.

Leading 2-0 following a stirring performance in Friday's first-leg at Hillsborough, Wednesday's Wembley ambitions took an early battering as Brighton spurned a host of chances before Lewis Dunk deservedly gave his club a 19th-minute lead.

But Ross Wallace, who opened the scoring in fine fashion in the first leg, curled a cross beyond David Stockdale on a rare Wednesday attack nine minutes later to keep alive the club's dream of playing top-flight football for the first time since 2000.
