Following Saturday’s game at St James’ Park, nothing has changed.

The Brighton boss giving a very honest overview of what happened in the match.

Fabian Hurzeler reflecting on Newcastle 0 Brighton 1:

“The first half was what we expected from Newcastle with a lot of intensity and rotation and we suffered a lot.

“They were better in the first half and we had a bit of luck but we showed a brilliant reaction in the second half.

“My team suffered together and defended together and that is why I am happy for them that they got the result.

“I loved the clean sheet and I always say that defences win championships.

“We got smashed against Chelsea but we learned from that.

“Not everything was perfect against Newcastle but in the second half our structure was much better.

“But the luck will come to you if you work hard and follow the process.

“At the time we scored we didn’t deserve the goal but Danny showed his quality.

“We worked the move well. It’s impressive how Danny works for the team and counter presses. He is a role model for the younger players and when you work hard like he does you get what you deserve.

“Of course, you focus on the process but you also need results for belief.

“It wasn’t perfect but it was important to get a result. I think we can improve in all phases.

“The result was good, the performance was okay but the players on the pitch did a brilliant job and suffered together.”
