Brighton fans celebrate promotion to the Premier League

Brighton have been 'absolutely magnificent' this season and should feel no shame in not winning the Championship title.

That's the view of former Seagulls boss Alan Mullery, who called into talkSPORT on Monday to hit out at suggestions the players had somehow 'failed' by losing out on top spot.

Chris Hughton's side sealed promotion to the Premier League on April 17 and were well poised to finish top, having moved seven points clear of Newcastle with three games remaining.
