Hurzeler targets another clean sheet and these improvements on win at Burnley

And he has highlighted where his side must improve on their 2-0 win at Burnley.

The Seagulls aim for a fourth successive away win and would also love a fourth shut-out.

Head coach Hurzeler said his side were not at their best at Turf Moor but added: “We know it wasn't the best performance. On the other side, when we reflected on it, we had a performance where we overall controlled the game.

“We had so many breakthroughs, we had so many scenes where we attacked the box.

“I think we could easily finish the game earlier but we know that, in the small moments, we have to be better.

“For example, defensive set-pieces wasn't our best performance. We gave away some chances.

“We were quite sloppy in the second half regarding small technical mistakes, small individual passes.

“But we also have to get an understanding that these wins might be more important than playing well because, especially in this part of the season, it's also about winning, getting results, and Brighton was always known that we struggle against teams who are in the table in lower positions.

“But what I saw was a mature performance.

“What I saw was very disciplined performance, not with the best football elements, but with a team that stick together and did the small marches right.

“We kept a clean sheet. Keeping clean sheets is always crucial. It will be also crucial (today).

“And then, of course, we have to improve the small technical mistakes and have to be like more aware regarding set-pieces.

“And then I think we have a big chance.”
