Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler insists they were worthy of their 1-1 draw with Arsenal on Saturday. The Gunners had the lead through Ethan Nwaneri before Joao Pedro won and converted a penalty after a disputed foul by William Saliba.

On a strong showing after the break: "It is a big challenge for us to play consistently with this intensity. We are [currently] only able to play [like this] in phases of the game. We have to improve and get fitter. We have to be mentally ready to play intensely for 90 minutes.

Head coach Fabian Hurzeler says Brighton & Hove Albion should be higher up the Premier League table at Christmas than 10th place. Brighton have 25 points from 17 games under the 31-year-old German, which is comparable with the previous two seasons at the corresponding stage under former head coach Roberto De Zerbi.
