Huddersfield boss David Wagner will take Brighton point

Huddersfield Town boss David Wagner was pleased with their 1-1 draw against Brighton.

An own goal from Jonal Lossl was cancelled out by Steve Mounie for Hudderfield's point.

Wagner commented: “Both teams wanted to win and I think we've seen this. It was a draw that we accept, it was a deserved point – we were able to win it but we were also able to concede a defeat as well.

“The lads showed bravery on the ball, they played some decent football and defended with fighting spirit. At the end, we have this point that I'm happy about as a performance. The players have showed a lot of good things at this difficult stadium.

“To respond like they did today, the first five minutes were very difficult and the goal we conceded was unlucky, but the players responded in a positive manner and that's what I like."

“We had a totally different mindset to last week. We forced them into mistakes or uncontrolled long balls, and over a good period of time the players have done well. We won second balls and were decent on the ball, the goal was a mistake but we forced them into it and we were able to capitalise on that."
