Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler, in an interview with BBC Sport: “This is a challenging moment for us, but that’s part of football, and we must confront it. The performance today was below our standard, so we need to engage in some self-reflection.”
“Up until the first goal, we weren’t performing well, and our response was lacking. We lost our structure and made some avoidable errors. Goals often result from mistakes, and this match was influenced by individual tackles, duels, and personal blunders.”

“We’re all feeling the disappointment and recognize the issues we’re facing right now, but it’s crucial that we work towards finding solutions.”
“This is football. I understand that emotions are a fundamental aspect of the game. I am fully dedicated to this club and will do my utmost alongside the players.”
