Roy Hodgson praised his side’s “guts and determination” in securing a dramatic victory at Brighton in the dying seconds, after a dogged defensive display.
“I’m very pleased,” he said in his post-match interview, “we played against a team that’s very technical, that moved the ball quickly. We knew we had to work very hard defensively as a midfield unit and a back unit, to limit the number of times they got in our penalty area.
“We did that extremely well in the first-half. We weren’t able to get on the ball as much as we’d like but when you have had a few bad results it does affect confidence in that area.
