Aston Villa 1-0 Brighton: What Hurzeler said

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "I learned a lot about the group in the last days, about their character and how they stick together.

"We showed a good performance and a performance that definitely deserved more than we got today.

"In the end we can't blame luck and we have to take responsibility.

"I was very pleased with how our supporters supported us for 90 minuted. They definitely deserved more today and therefore we apologise and I apologise but we have to keep pushing and trying to get the results we deserve in the next games."
