Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi was happy to grind out a 1-0 win against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

The win came via an own goal scored by Forest's Andrew Omobamidele.

De Zerbi later said: "We have suffered a lot and we are suffering from Thursday evening but we showed a fantastic [response]. It is not a surprise with this group of players, I had no doubt. This was an important three points reaction after three defeats. Very important.

"It is important to keep the position in the table. We have the energy to fight to make another great result this season. We are fighting with a lot of problems this season, playing many games with a lot of problems but the level of these players in terms of human qualities is very high.

"We can play better, we played much better in the past, but now we are not in perfect physical condition or numbers of players. We are suffering and for that reason I am really played with what the players showed."
