Brighton boss Graham Potter was satisfied with their 1-1 draw with Aston Villa.

Leandro Trossard had fired the home side ahead with a fine finish seven minutes before the interval - his third goal of the season - but the visitors levelled 15 minutes from time through Jack Grealish.

Potter said, “It was an important game and it's obviously disappointing not to win, but I thought we were really good in the first half and with a bit of luck could have probably been further ahead.

“You'd expect a response from the opposition and they did come back at us, but we also responded well to their goal and had chances towards the end of the game.

“Neal [Maupay] has that effort well saved and we had a little opening at the very end too, but it just wasn't to be."
