Brighton boss Poyet upset with "comical" defending for Liverpool thrashing

Brighton boss Gus Poyet was left disappointed with their defending after the 6-1 FA Cup thrashing at Liverpool.

Poyet accused his side of "comic" defending after they scored three own goals in a 6-1 FA Cup hammering at Liverpool.

Liam Bridcutt twice found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, whilst Lewis Dunk's disastrous attempt at controlling a Luis Suarez cross also ended in calamity.

"I watched the goals on the computer," said Poyet. "There are a few funny ones in there. They were comic goals.

"I haven't spoken to the players about it. There were so many individual mistakes it would take all day.

"I made changes at 3-1 and I am responsible for what happened afterwards. But I don't like it and I didn't enjoy it.

"I learned a lot. I hope my players did the same."
