​Brighton captain Bruno laments 'soft' Everton penalty

Brighton & Hove Albion skipper Bruno believes that Everton were handed a soft penalty during their encounter against the Toffees at the AMEX on Sunday.

Brighton had to settle for a 1-1 draw after conceding through a very late penalty following a poor challenge by Bruno but despite his evident foul inside the box on Dominic Calvert-Lewin, the Seagulls' captain stated following the game that the penalty was a soft one.

He said: "To get a point against Everton is good, but after being 1-0 up with five minutes to go it's quite disappointing. Especially the way with the penalty.

"I would say it wasn't. I haven't seen it again. I'm trying to put myself in the space. I'm not going to speak about the ref. That isn't fair.

"They are trying to do their best. I think it was really soft, every single decision during the game. There were a lot of challenges in the game and it was his decison, that's it."
