Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler speaking to BBC Match of the Day after their win over Sunderland: “We played really good in the first half, we controlled the game. The goal happened out of nowhere for us. It was a bit lucky but I think we deserved the luck.
“Afterwards we defended it well and didn’t give away too many chances, so overall it was a deserved win. We found a way to overcome difficult phases and that was the main thing today.”
On Yankuba Minteh’s goal: “It was a strange goal, not one of his nicest in the season but a goal is a goal. He got his rewards. Sometimes football doesn’t have to be nice, it has to be effective.”
On Yankuba Minteh’s substitution: “We have the responsibility to protect the players. Sometimes the players react emotionally so I need to take care of him.”
