It was certainly an eventful first game in charge of new Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi
“Graham Potter has left me a great team and I have tried not to do any damage, but of course I will add my ideas. If you ask me how I can improve performance, we need to play with the ball a lot more.
“In the first half we were able to pass against a very strong team and we had the opportunity to score more goals.
“It’s very difficult to control the whole game in the Premier League, only Manchester City does. Our goal is to control much more of the game.”

About the Belgian striker Trossard he added: ‘Leandro is a crack (top player). He is a very good player.
“When he was with the national team, I sent him a message that he should increase the number of goals. I don’t think he’s done!
“I believe he can do even better, not because I’m not happy, but because I think he’s a great, great player.”
