Glenn Murray wants to see Brighton continue to put pressure on sides, knowing it is the only way for them to succeed.

Brighton were guilty of being cagey and passive in the first hour against Southampton away from home.

And it resulted in them being 2-0 down. They rallied to 2-2, but Murray knows such performances are not possible if they want to remain in the league.

He told The Argus: "The manager tells us in no uncertain terms when we deserve it. But I don't even think he needed to tell us.

"We looked around at ourselves at half-time and we knew it wasn't good enough.

"He made a few little alterations and you could see the difference in those.

"We looked like and we felt like a different team in the second half.

"We just decided to push Biss and Davy a little bit higher and stop giving them so much possession in front of us.

"Personally, being in the game – and I don't know how it looked from outside – it didn't feel like they broke us down much in the first half.

"It was a fantastic strike for their first goal and then a penalty.

"For all our lack of quality on the ball in the first half, I think we did quite a good defensive job and they didn't break us down.

"But we gave them a lot of possession and then in the second half, with the small tweaks, I think we won the ball higher up the pitch and built from that. We ran around a little bit more, we pressed a little bit higher, we were braver and we got our just rewards."
