Bournemouth make leaders Brighton "look average"

Bournemouth moved up to second in League One with a narrow 1-0 home win over leaders Brighton. New Cherries boss Lee Bradbury claimed his team made Brighton "look average" in his first home game in charge.

Bradbury said: "The lads were a different class and they have been since I took over. I've told them you get out what you put in and they put a lot in and are getting a lot out of it. They are making my job easy.

"Brighton are one of the best passing teams in the league and we made them look decidedly average.

"We dealt with them well. That's two clean sheets in two games and I can't remember the last time we did that.

"I've got bits of paper all over the house which has upset my wife a bit, but you've got to prepare properly and we got the rewards."
