Brighton boss Graham Potter believes a point was deserved after drawing 1-1 against Liverpool.

Pascal Gross' injury time penalty ensured the hosts came away with a point after Diogo Jota had put the reigning Premier League champions ahead midway through the second half.

“Performance wise we were really, really good," Potter said. “We put a lot into the game, you're playing against a top opponent and you have to play with courage, intensity and personality.

“We created some opportunities, the margins were in our favour but we deserved that because of our level of performance.

“We've had a lot of drama in the 90-plus minutes this season. Credit to Pascal, he is that type of character – reliable and a team player. I am pleased for him."

Albion might feel aggrieved they didn't have more to show for their exploits with Neal Maupay missing a first-half penalty.

“That's football. We had a penalty you want to score, but that happens sometimes. Apart from the opening ten minutes we asked a real question of Liverpool.

“With a bit of luck we could have taken the lead, but that's life. The thought is then how long can you sustain that for? I thought we sustained it quite well, but gradually Liverpool came back into it. But we put so much effort in and I am really proud of the players."
