THERE WAS MIXED fortunes for Ireland internationals Robbie Brady and Shane Duffy in tonight’s Premier League action.
Brady was shown a red card for a late tackle towards the end of Burnley’s 2-1 victory away to Huddersfield while Duffy hit the net for Brighton but they had to settle for a 2-2 draw as West Ham pegged them back.
Burnley claimed a second successive win as they climbed to 16th and received a boost in their battle to avoid the drop. Brady recovered from a hip abductor injury to take his place on the bench and was brought on in the 63rd minute when it was 1-1 in the John Smith’s stadium.

Ashley Barnes scored in the 74th minute to edge Burnley in front and despite Brady being dismissed late on, Sean Dyche’s side held on for a crucial victory while another defeat leaves Huddersfield still rooted to the bottom of the table. Jeff Hendrick also came on as a substitute for Burnley while Kevin Long was on the bench.
Brighton drew 2-2 away to West Ham but were left disappointed after letting a two goal advantage slip away. Dale Stephens put them in front in the 56th minute and then Irish international Duffy notched his fourth goal of the season a couple of minutes later as he doubled Brighton’s lead.
But West Ham pegged Chris Hughton’s side back within ten minutes after Mark Arnautovic notched a pair of goals and the teams had to settle for a share of the spoils.
