'A story that has gone under the radar'
Fabian Hurzeler's first season at Brighton is a story that has perhaps gone under the radar. The youngest permanent head coach in Premier League history when appointed aged 31. He has taken his side to the brink of European qualification, something that has only been done once in the club's history. When scores elsewhere filtered through to the away fans at Tottenham Hotspur stadium, shattering the European dream, the togetherness and team spirit on the pitch was unquestionable. This was another second-half masterclass. They have been the comeback kings in the top flight this season, shocking the likes of Liverpool along the way. The Brighton boss admits consistency needs to improve next season but, with a promising first season under his belt, the 'Hurzeler era' is well under way.

But Taylor is not a fan of the setup, saying: "It's very tiring… I think they do need to look at it now. "It needs revamping, that's what I think. A lot of the players are not enjoying it and you can tell." Fans also criticised the repetitive format after last week's final and so did legend Steve Beaton, labelling it "boring".
