Brighton transfer news: Manchester United look to Brighton and Leicester for ‘cut price’ Pogba replacement, Liverpool striker close to exit

Brighton were held to a 0-0 home draw by bottom side Norwich City in their return match yesterday.

A missed Neal Maupay penalty was the best opportunity squandered, but Albion boss Graham Potter was able to take the positives from the stalemate.

Speaking after the game, Potter said: “I appreciate how challenging the Premier League is. We don’t have any divine right to be in this league just because of who we are, we have to earn it.

“Performing well in the Premier League isn’t easy to do, and to be as dominant as we were today isn’t easy to do, so I think the players deserve some credit for that, because they restricted Norwich to just one counter-attack at the end.”

The Seagulls’ boss also praised the home supporters: “We want to do better and make our supporters happy. I feel for our supporters because we haven’t really given them much in terms of results at home, goals and that type of thing.

“We’ve suffered a bit and they’ve suffered, but today I thought they were fantastic, they were really with us, so that gives me confidence going forwards.”

Speaking on his side’s struggle to score, having only netted once in their last seven games, Potter was frank. “Hit the target, simple as that," he said.
