That last thirty seconds we've just got to do the basics well.
If you can't win the game then don't lose it. That's football, you've got to concentrate right the way through the game, you've got to be strong and resolute. "I just feel really disappointed for them because they didn't deserve to lose the game. It looked like it was going to be a point and you'll take the point so to concede the goal is disappointing. "We had good rhythm in the first 15 minutes of the second half but then failed to play and get that rhythm back again. We're disappointed with the free-kick, it ends up being the goal they scored from. "In order to have the ball it's a mentality, we were able to do that and it went well for us. Ricardo scored a brilliant goal and we were deserving of that. Defensively we were strong and the back four and goalkeeper were excellent. First half we had to defend well, we didn't keep the ball well at all. Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers, speaking to Match of the Day: "Football can be harsh. You see a Brighton team that is slightly ahead of us on the journey. "We saw two teams, two clubs that have done fantastically over the years. We can defend better but we are very dangerous when we go forward, in open play, in set pieces and on the counter - and we showed that today. On both clubs: "I think both teams showed what they are good at. On Pontus Jansson: "It was good to have Pontus back. He's been good but today we really needed him with some crucial saves." "If this is the first time we've needed that this season, that's not bad. We really, really needed him with a lot of good saves. He's been good the whole season but this shows that defensively today we were not there.
On David Raya: "David is a fantastic keeper, I've said this many times and he performed fantastically for us today. They gave everything and I love the determination but we have more in us." "I told the boys that I love the effort, I love the body on the line. "I know we can do much better and we have to do much better. I know we can be much better than this, we normally defend much better in general, but especially with the first two goals. I don't think that we played to our normal standard. "Overall, I think it was a fair point and a good point for us. But after the equaliser, I think it was even both ways and we had a fantastic chance, a few set pieces. "Of course, if they had equalised earlier, then you never know. What other teams do is out of our control."īrentford manager Thomas Frank, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "It's a good point but the thing is we were in front three times in the game and with that in mind, even though in periods Brighton dominated, we never looked like losing. That's the best it could have looked today because we took the three points. "The table matters, I'm just fully focused on Tuesday. I can't believe it took us so long to score our first one. "The second goal is something we worked on a lot. Let's keep him with us for the rest of the season and he'll play a part. "Marcus Tavernier is a huge player for us. They produced one heck of a display from that moment. "We injected some energy with some fresh faces and one of those fresh faces smashed the ball into the top corner from 20 yards out. "We were getting a few bits wrong, I'm not sure why, it wasn't looking like how it was supposed to. "We made a couple of changes at half-time and went on to win the game, deservedly so. The lads showed everything you need to give yourself a chance in a relegation scrap. "We had a tough start and you go 1-0 down at home in a big game it's a real test of character and belief. Bournemouth boss Gary O'Neil, speaking to BBC MOTD:
