Brighton are winless in 10 Premier League matches (D8 L2), their longest winless run in the top-flight since a 10-game run between December 1982 and February 1983.Image: Southampton dropped more points from a winning position We kept going even down to 10 men and in the end, it was great to score and to get a point." Analysis: Same old story for Hasenhuttl "We have to be honest as we weren't at our best in the first half and Southampton were a better version of themselves than we were and I have to take responsibility for that as well. We've had to readjust with relatively a small amount of time given the turnaround and with the injuries so I can't speak highly enough of the boys' spirit and their willingness to keep working. "It's only three defeats all season and we've given ourselves a chance in the game. To go for 10 minutes with 10 men, the players showed real spirit to take something from the game. "Our first-half performance was below par and Southampton deserved to go in ahead. We have belief as a team and the one thing I don't doubt is the character and spirit of the players and their willingness to go to the end. "We had the chance to beat them for the first time at home in the Premier League so it's hard to take."īrighton boss Graham Potter praised the spirit of his side after a 99th minute Neal Maupay goal secured a 1-1 draw at Southampton.īrighton boss Graham Potter: "I'm not shocked. I think it's the third time this season they've scored in over-time this season so we knew they would have momentum, and be dangerous. "We were discussing at half-time that it's never over until the final whistle is blown. It doesn't make sense to shout after the game. "The performance was much better than the result but if you're stupid at the end then you don't deserve the result.

We're not the first team to concede as late as this but it was absolutely not necessary. Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl: "It's a horrible feeling and tomorrow it will be even harder. Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl claims simple mistakes left him feeling hurt as Brighton equalised in the eighth minute of injury time in the Premier League. The lengthy delay led to 10 additional minutes of stoppage time and in the eighth of the allotted extras, Moder retrieved his own blocked free-kick to volley back towards goal and as the ball landed at Maupay's feet, the much-maligned striker atoned for his earlier miss to salvage another late point.
Potter hoped his side could build up a head of steam, but that seemed to have been extinguished when Trossard was forced off with an elbow injury meaning Brighton ended the game with 10 men, as they had done so in the midweek draw with West Ham having also made all three of their substitutions. Solly March's slaloming run found fellow substitute Aaron Connolly in space down the right, and after his cross was directed towards goal by Maupay, McCarthy readjusted his feet to keep it out. With tension growing among the home supporters, Nathan Tella was fortunate not to avoid greater punishment when his flailing arm caught Joel Veltman in the face, but Brighton ought to have levelled with 13 minutes remaining.
