Brighton were cruelly denied the Sky Bet Championship title as Jack Grealish's late equaliser for Aston Villa ensured Newcastle finished as champions.
The Seagulls were just minutes away from clinching the Championship trophy, but Grealish's 89th-minute strike meant Brighton were leapfrogged by Newcastle at the final hurdle.
The moment came when goalkeeper David Stockdale failed to deal with Grealish's effort, meaning Brighton were held to a 1-1 draw, while Newcastle beat Barnsley 3-0 to take the title.
The Seagulls were already promoted, ending a 34-year top-flight exile, and victory would have seen them go up as champions but they lacked urgency and rhythm for long spells.
Chris Hughton's side rode their luck in the first half and Henri Lansbury wasted a glorious Villa chance as the hosts finished a disappointing season 13th with boss Steve Bruce needing to revamp his squad in the summer.
Villa, relegated last year, had long hoped there would be a promotion party in Birmingham but it was the visitors who were celebrating going up - regardless of the heartbreaking ending at Villa Park!
