""For me it's not a penalty, but we have to accept people make mistakes," Hurzeler said. "It's difficult to speak in that moment to the referee. Of course you try it, but in the end they stick to their decision.""
""For certain contact, for certain moments in the box - that's what the referees told us at the beginning of the season - it's not always a foul. "Contact doesn't mean foul and in this situation it's contact, maybe a little bit, but it's not a foul. It (the process of the VAR becoming involved) doesn't make sense.""
""I've seen him score better in training, but that was unbelievable," Dunk said. "He's a special talent. You've seen glimpses, and there'll be many more things to come from him. He's adapting to the country, a new league, and he's shown what he can do. That shows exactly what he can do.""
Brighton conceded a penalty after referee Paul Tierney initially booked Amine Adli for diving, but a VAR review led to the award when Bart Verbruggen was judged to have caught Adli on the thigh and Marcus Tavernier scored from the spot. Brighton argued contact did not constitute a foul and criticized the VAR process, saying the decision disrupted the team's rhythm and led to technical errors. Fans booed and chanted as Tierney left at half-time. The match finished 1-1 after Charalampos Kostoulas scored an impressive equaliser, with club leadership noting his talent and adaptation to a new league.
