Brighton's Hurzeler emotional - not euphoric - after beating Man Utd

Hurzeler 'proud' as Brighton 'never gave up'

Emotional, but not euphoric.

Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler chose his words carefully after Joao Pedro had given his side a dramatic 2-1 victory against Manchester United at Amex Stadium.

Euphoria was certainly a word to encapsulate the noise that greeted the final whistle even though, with five victories in their past six meetings against their opponents, beating them has become routine.

Maybe it was starting the season with successive victories, although Brighton did that last term as well.

Quite possibly it was that, again, they have found a manager who can continue the club’s forward momentum, which has taken them to places their supporters could never have dreamed of two decades ago.
