James Hurtley’s firmly struck effort, following a Tom Robinson free kick, made it 2-1 to Brighouse on 71 minutes and Danny Facey’s easy finish with five minutes left made the points safe.

There was a sting in the tale as Mossley’s Tom Dean and Town’s Hurtley were red carded in added time.

Brighouse have finished 14th in the table with 59 points from 42 games.
