Brighton boss Hughton: We've put pressure on ourselves

Brighton boss Chris Hughton concedes his players are feeling the pressure after defeat to Tottenham.

Brighton lost to an 88th minute winner from Christian Eriksen on Tuesday night.

Hughton said, "There are some games where you think the other team are going to open you up and the longer the game went they were pushing bodies forward but I thought we were going to get a point.

"We had opportunities to manage the game better at the end and those are the details that are crucial against a team of the quality of Tottenham."

He added: "That pressure is something we've put on ourselves. We've got three games and we have to make sure we get enough points to secure our status in this division. The pressure comes with the territory and we'll have to deal with it."
