Hughton: Brighton's survival chances 'very much in our own hands'

The club slipped further into the relegation dogfight as they lost 2-0 to Cardiff City on Tuesday, leaving them just two points clear of safety

Chris Hughton believes Brighton and Hove Albion's team spirit will be enough to ensure they avoid relegation from the Premier League.

Brighton could have moved eight points clear of the drop zone on Tuesday, but instead are now just two above Cardiff City, who won 2-0 at the Amex Stadium and occupy the final relegation place.

The Seagulls do still have a game in hand compared to Cardiff, although their run-in includes trips to Tottenham and Arsenal, while Manchester City visit the south coast on the final day.
