Analysis: A game of two halves

[Getty Images] How Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler views his side's performance will largely depend on which half he is analysing. After thrashing Aston Villa 4-0 at the Amex on the opening weekend of the season, the Seagulls were expected to make a lightning-quick start on home soil once again. But that was not the case. In fact, it was a similarly sluggish start to the one Brighton made at Chelsea six days ago, as they found themselves a goal down within the first 15 minutes of the match. The fact that Hurzeler's side have not won a Premier League fixture when falling behind for almost 10 months highlighted the size of the task facing his side, who were sloppy both in and out of possession. But once the home side struck an equaliser, there only seemed likely to be one winner. And by the time Pascal Gross fired over from only a couple of yards out in the final seconds of normal time, there was a feeling of frustration at the Amex that Brighton had missed the opportunity to end their unwanted Premier League streak.
