The silver lining for any striker on the losing side is a consolation goal, but Tammy Abraham wasn’t even afforded that small luxury after his side’s 4-1 defeat at Brighton.
With Swansea City 3-0 down they pulled one back with five minutes to go, the goal initially awarded to Chelsea-loanee, Abraham.

A consolation goal for the visiting side, but an important one for Abraham who hadn’t scored in the Premier League since October 2017.
The only problem was that after the final whistle had blown, it was declared an own goal, scored by Brighton’s Lewis Dunk.
UPDATE: The Premier League Match Centre has adjudged that Swansea’s goal is a Lewis Dunk own goal#BHASWA https://t.co/BvmBP5uhNJ

Abraham was awarded the assist by the Fantasy Premier League, but it provided little comfort for the forward.
Cheers. https://t.co/SxIi8hiUku

Never mind, Tammy.
