Brighton pocket £11million in 45 minutes after final day comeback against West Ham

Brighton and Hove Albion's second-half comeback against West Ham United on the final day of the season pocketed the Seagulls a healthy £11m.

The south coast outfit were trailing 1-0 at the break but scored three goals in the second 45 to round off an impressive campaign to register their highest ever finish. The three points lifted them from 13th to 9th and, such are the riches on offer in the Premier League, earned them a huge bonus courtesy of their league position.

Joel Veltman equalised for Graham Potter's side five minutes into the second-half before Pascal Gross and Danny Welbeck both scored in the final ten minutes to earn the three points after the visitors had taken the lead courtesy of Michail Antonio. A game that, appeared to have little on it other than pride for Brighton, had ended up being hugely lucrative.
