Brighton boss Hughton: Ibe quality won it for Bournemouth

Brighton boss Chris Hughton admits Jordon Ibe made the difference for Bournemouth last night.

Cherries substitute Ibe came on and set up both of the home side's goals in the second half, and Hughton acknowledged the level of player that Eddie Howe had at his disposal.

“That's the sort of quality that they can bring on [Jordon Ibe]. With them being a team that's playing at home, and conceding the goal that they did, it brings out more of an offensive prowess.

“They had to go for it a little bit more, and of course, they've got the players that can do that, particularly at home."
