Bart Verbruggen was the hero for Brighton after his stoppage-time penalty save from Igor Thiago earned a dramatic 2-1 home victory over Brentford. The Seagulls had been set to taste defeat in Fabian Hurzeler's 50th match in charge after Thiago's ice-cool first-half spot-kick had the visitors in front. Danny Welbeck's 71st-minute leveller sparked a grandstand finish for Brighton with substitute Jack Hinshelwood able to complete the turnaround with six minutes left.

I like the way Liam is playing this team. I knew how difficult the match would be. This season, I have to manage the pre- and post-international break. I have to control the physical load of my players. The goals conceded? We had a good start to the match. We showed our superiority with and without the ball. The end of the first half was worse, we suffered. The intensity was better in the second half.
