Brighton boss Graham Potter insists they deserved more from their 1-1 draw with Newcastle.

Brighton took the lead from Leandro Trossard via the penalty spot before Isaac Hayden's equaliser. Brighton goalkeeper Robert Sanchez was sent off for the hosts.

Potter said, "We played really well, controlled the game, forced them back, created chances and scored a goal. Newcastle were sitting deep and playing on the counter. Up to their goal, we had control of the game and lost our way a little bit. A lesson in this league, you don't have to do too much wrong to concede a goal. But it is a point we will take.

"Anything can happen only at 1-0 in the Premier League. You have to deal with whatever comes after you concede, considering the end of the game we take a point and prepare for Aston Villa now."

Om Sanchez's red card, he added: "Not a great action from us, it is not great when Callum Wilson goes round the goalkeeper but something for us to improve on. Lewis Dunk is a centre-back but he has done it (gone in goals) before sometime in his career, the captain steps up. We dealt with it well going down to 10 men, the spirit was good and we tried."
