Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler has apologised to supporters after his side were beaten 1-0 by Aston Villa on Wednesday night.

The defeat leaves the Seagulls with just one win in the Premier League in their last 13 Premier League matches, with that victory coming against relegation-battling Burnley.

Brighton’s downturn in form has led to frustration among some supporters, with that negativity being amplified after their side’s disappointing defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace last weekend, which led to boos and chants being aimed in the direction of Hurzeler.

The ex-St. Pauli boss responded by accepting responsibility for the torrid run of form, and he has now apologised to those who travelled to Villa Park for Wednesday’s loss.
