Brighton boss rues penalty misses

Brighton boss Gus Poyet insists extra penalty practice is not the answer to his side's spot-kick curse. Glenn Murray missed from the spot during Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Huddersfield - the fifth time Albion have failed from 12 yards already this season.

But Poyet said: "It doesn't matter how much you practice, it is about having one chance on the pitch and not 10.

"The only people who talk about how easy a penalty is are people who haven't taken a penalty."
