    FT: Southampton 1-2 Brighton

    Brighton & Hove Albion

    More from Brighton manager Graham Potter: "Today we rode whatever luck we needed, there wasn’t a VAR against us and we managed to see the game out.

    "I felt quite comfortable second half, even though when the scoreline is that close you are never comfortable, so there were still a few butterflies.

    “We have to not worry about anyone else. We have to focus on ourselves and getting the points. We haven’t got enough points as it is so we have to keep working. The only way to do that is to focus on the next match, which is Newcastle.

    “It’s a fantastic result from a performance that deserved three points. We have said that a lot (about our performance in matches) when we haven’t got the points.

    “It’s a fantastic reward for the players and will help them keep going. We will keep fighting and on to the next match."

    On Adam Lallana: "I thought he was fantastic today. He takes the ball in tight areas, links the play up really well and uses his voice to organise the team.

    “He’s a really important player and person for us. Really delighted for him – that’s his second 90 minutes, so we need to recover him and get him ready for the weekend."

    Brighton & Hove Albion

    Brighton manager Graham Potter speaking to BBC Sport: "I thought it was a deserved victory. Full credit to the players, they had to adapt. We lost Dan (Burn) at half time with a tight hamstring. So we had to adapt and I thought we did it really well.

    "Second half we got a really good goal and when we had to defend we defended against a really good side that plays with huge intensity.

    "Overall, I’m so proud of the players."
