Ross Wallace scored a vital goal as Sheffield Wednesday endured a Brighton onslaught to reach the Championship play-off final at Wembley.

Sheffield Wednesday came through unrelenting early pressure from Brighton and Hove Albion to steal a 1-1 draw at the Amex Stadium and book a place in the Championship play-off final.

Leading 2-0 following a stirring performance in Friday's first-leg at Hillsborough, Wednesday's Wembley ambitions took an early battering as Brighton spurned a host of chances before Lewis Dunk deservedly gave them a 19th-minute lead.

Last-ditch blocks from visiting defenders Tom Lees and Kieran Lee set the tone and there was almost lift-off for Brighton's raucous support when Anthony Knockaert's 10th-minute free-kick spun to safety via the inside of the post.

Knockaert, patched up from a first-leg injury, was Wednesday's tormentor-in-chief and, after finding Wednesday goalkeeper Keiren Westwood in inspired form, Brighton led when Dunk stabbed home a set-piece from close range.

The goalscorer was furious soon afterwards when an apparent push from Gary Hooper went unpunished and prevented him from cutting out Wallace's goalbound effort.

Carlos Carvalhal's Wednesday will now face Hull City or Derby County on May 28, with Hull's 3-0 advantage in the other semi-final making them heavy favourites to reach Wembley.
