its second league win of the season as Sol Bamba netted a dramatic stoppagetime winner to seal its win over 10man Brighton.

‘‘It’s ridiculous, they shouldn’t be in the game. We scored a perfectly good goal [at 10] that was ruled out for offside,’’ Austin told Sky Sports. ‘‘The officials cost us two points.
