Brighton striker Murray still keen on penalty duties

Brighton striker Glenn Murray says he hasn't been put off by having his penalty saved by Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel on Saturday.

The Dane saved Murray's spot-kick in the 77th minute. His side would eventually score two goals to seal an impressive away win at the AMEX.

Murray said: "If he goes the other way it goes in. It's just one of those. He has obviously done his homework. It was just one of those days for me unfortunately."

"No, not at all [put off taking further penalties]. This is part and parcel of it. Obviously the Burnley one earlier in the season I missed the target, and I haven't done my job.

"Kasper's done his job and he's done it well. That's the way I look at it. I got it on target and it's a good save.

"It is a mind battle. Obviously he watches me and I watch him. You are trying to second guess each other. That's always the case, and a lot of it is luck. It just wasn't to be and he earned his money."
