‘There’s no explanation’ – Fabian Hurzeler unhappy with moment that ‘changed the game’ against Southampton

Kaoru Mitoma gave Brighton the lead with a header but the hosts were pegged back in the second-half by the Saints

– who also had a winner controversially disallowed. Hurzeler, nevertheless, believes his squad was unfairly treated

during the match.

It wasn’t made any easier by recollections of Carlos Baleba’s questionable farewell at Bournemouth last weekend.

Hurzeler remarked, “I already said that at halftime, and he commits another foul.”

“That is something that alters the game, and there is no explanation for it. In Bournemouth, it altered the outcome of

the game; today, it might do the same for us.

“However, you must exercise extreme caution in your speech here in England, as I also find it difficult to

comprehend my yellow card, and I must adjust to this situation.”

Flynn Downes should not have been on the field when he scored Southampton’s equalizing goal,

according to Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler.

Brighton briefly rose to second place in the league as a consequence, but other outcomes have dropped

them to fifth place.

Hurzeler emphasized that “that’s part of football” even though he did not experience the “best emotions”

following the game.

“Disappointment and bad experiences are part of the process,” he continued. We must keep getting

better, keep working hard, and aim to be better the next game since we didn’t deserve any more today.

Hurzeler responded, “I think the second half, being more consistent in our performance during the 90

minutes, being more ruthless with the chances we had,” when asked what wasn’t quite right.

“I believe we had enough of opportunities to win the game in the first half, but we chose not to take

advantage of them. Then, we lacked the clarity and stability to defend and prevent a goal. These were the

primary ideas.
