The view from the Bridge, the Stamford Bridge press box, is the worst in the Premier League, especially if you are unlucky enough to be stuck at the back, where the low overhanging concrete beams give the impression of a Second World War bunker.

Newcastle came from behind to stun Brighton with two late goals to reclaim top spot in the Championship.

Arsene Wenger was happy to take his players' word that the award of Arsenal's late penalty against Southampton was correct.

Hull secured a return to the Premier League with a deserved 1-0 defeat of Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship play-off final at Wembley.
