Brighton and Hove Albion manager Fabian Hurzeler said his team ‘can improve’ and ‘have to focus’ after their 2-0 defeat at Everton.
Iliman Ndiaye and James Garner were the goalscorers either side of half-time – with the former adding the finishing touch to a fine team move before the latter fired a superb strike into the bottom corner.
