Brighton manager Dean Wilkins has paid tribute to his players for taking the fight for a play-off place down to the wire this season.A late goal from Dean Cox was enough to secure a 2-1 win over Hartlepool at the Withdean Stadium on Saturday.

The Seagulls are four points behind sixth-placed Leeds with only two games remaining and Wilkins insists his players will fight until the end for a play-off spot.

"All the time that there remains a chance then we have to keep going for it," he told the club's official website.

"We will keep fighting until either the Leeds decision is made or until we mathematically cannot make it.

"We have to give the players enormous credit for keeping on doing that as well."
