Brighton draws at the Amex following a slow start against opponents
Summary

Brighton struggled to establish momentum early during their recent Premier League match at the Amex, trailing by a goal within the first 15 minutes of play. Manager Fabian Hurzeler noted the team's performance varied significantly between the first and second halves after the side struggled with possession. Despite the early deficit, the home side eventually secured an equaliser to level the match. Brighton failed to capitalise on a late scoring opportunity when Pascal Gross fired over from close range during the final moments of normal time. The result leaves the club looking to break an nearly 10-month streak without a Premier League victory after falling behind. The team continues to search for the consistent form they displayed in their opening 4-0 win against Aston Villa.

What they're saying
"

How Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler views his side's performance will largely depend on which half he is analysing. After thrashing Aston Villa 4-0 at the Amex on the opening weekend of the season, the Seagulls were expected to make a lightning-quick start on home soil once again. In fact, it was a similarly sluggish start to the one Brighton made at Chelsea six days ago, as they found themselves a goal down within the first 15 minutes of the match.
