Brighton boss Graham Potter was happy to see the collapse of the Super League breakaway.

Potter commented on the European Super League in Saturday's match programme notes:

"It would be remiss of me not to mention the proposed European Super League in my notes today, but our stance as a club, and mine as an individual, I believe reflect the widespread and almost unanimous opinion of all in the game.

"We believe in fair competition, where promotions, relegations and, in the Premier League, the opportunity to play in Europe, are fundamental to the game in this country. A closed cartel of clubs in a European Super League would have destroyed the integrity and the very fundamentals of what makes football the great game it is.

"It was heartening to see the football family united on this – and even more pleasing to see the proposals collapse so dramatically."
