Brighton defender Joel Veltman has opened up on Bart Verbruggen's performance against Arsenal and says he is always looking to improve.
Verbruggen saw a shot from Ethan Nwaneri slip past him to give the Gunners the lead in the 1-1 draw which put the goalkeeper in the spotlight with much criticism coming his way. Veltman spoke to reporters after the game about how mistakes will only make the Dutch international stronger this season.
