Brighton captain Lewis Dunk finds positives in Chelsea defeat

Brighton captain Lewis Dunk insists there's plenty of positives from defeat at home to Chelsea.

Goals from Jorginho, Reece James and Kurt Zouma cancelled out Leo Trossard's equaliser as Chelsea ran out 3-1 winners.

Dunk said, “I think there's loads of positives we can take from tonight. At times we mixed the game up well and played it out from the back with good confidence. It was a good start but a poor result in the end."

The skipper continued: “It does feel harsh, but they were poor goals to concede.

“They were two set-pieces then we let their right-back shoot from 25-yards out, although it's a good strike.

“The three goals were disappointing because we played some really good stuff at times and 3-1 was a harsh scoreline.

“We have to concentrate harder after you've just scored. You think you're back in the game and in the ascendancy, but that's when they can punish you and Chelsea did tonight. It's a learning curve for us."
