Brighton boss Dario Vidosic was delighted with the character of his squad in their 3-2 win against West Ham after the visitors had threatened a comeback at 2-2.
Vidosic said: “I saw them all talking to each other, encouraging each other just to keep playing and went straight back to playing our football and scored a beautiful goal to score the third.”

“There were a lot of changes that we’ve been forced to make… funnily enough I actually discussed with her [Symonds] maybe a week or two ago about having that idea.”

Skinner said: “I think we showed a great character to come back from 2-0 down and we were the better team in the second half in front of goal… I think we deserved something out of the game.
“All of our attacking play has been really positive… next time around those chances go in, it completely changes the game, so we’ll just keep doing what we’re doing.”
