Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler has urged his players not to ‘feel sorry for themselves’ following their FA Cup exit.
The Seagulls’ poor run of form continued with a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Liverpool on Saturday night, with Curtis Jones, Dominik Szoboszlai and Mohamed Salah all on the score sheet at Anfield.
The loss leaves Brighton out of both cup competitions and now on the cusp of a relegation battle in the Premier League, having won just one of their last 13 league matches.
But Hurzeler feels that there were plenty of positives for his team to take away from Merseyside, telling BBC Sport: “We started the game well, controlled the ball, and the game changed a little bit when they scored. The goal came out of nowhere. We had two big chances in the first half, and we didn't use them. Liverpool were more effective.
