Brighton boss Potter happy with hard-fought Wolves draw

Brighton and Hove Albion boss Graham Potter was delighted at his side battling for a 2-2 draw against Wolves.

Albion had to come from behind early in the game, but they were soon 2-1 ahead after two quick goals from Neal Maupay and Davy Propper.

But Wolves pegged them back as Diogo Jota got his second of the night. The game ended 2-2.

The Albion head coach told The Argus: "It's a good point. A hard-earned, hard-fought point against a good team.

"We started off okay and then they grew into it, you can see the quality they have.

"They defend really well when they are in their shape and they have got experience in there.

"Then they have got really frightening pace on the break so all the time you are on the edge when you have the ball.

"You know if you make a mistake they can punish you.

"We were lucky to survive a moment at 1-0, could have gone down to 2-0.

"You need the goalkeeper and he was there for us.

"It was difficult for us because the crowd were getting frustrated.

"We weren't really able to play through or round therm.

"You can see it is the third game in a week for us.

"Our wasn't quite what it was, our energy levels weren't there but we have played Liverpool away, Arsenal away and we meet a very good team today.

"When you add all that up, I can understand why weren't quite at the level.

"But credit to the players, they kept going."
