Brighton boss Graham Potter was left frustrated after their 2-0 defeat at Aston Villa.
Late goals from Ollie Watkins and Tyrone Mings meant Steven Gerrard made a winning start to his reign as Villa boss, after Albion had been the better side for spells of a tight game with few clear chances.
Potter said, "It was a decent performance in a difficult environment with Steven [Gerrard's] first game in charge. With the enthusiasm of the Holte End Villa Park is a tough place to come, there was a lot of motivation for them.
"If you analyse the whole game, until the 84th minute I was really happy with the performance and the team looking likely to win was us. I thought we controlled it as well as we could. After 83 minutes I didn't feel we were under any danger but there's a mistake, a turnover of possession, a good finish and suddenly it's 1-0 and a totally different atmosphere.
"We gave ourselves a chance to win the game but we didn't score and Aston Villa did."
