Brighton defender Bernardo frustrated after West Ham fight-back

Brighton defender Bernardo insists they deserved more from their draw with West Ham.

Albion took a 2-0 lead courtesy of goals from Dale Stephens and Shane Duffy, but Marko Arnautovic struck twice to wipe out the deficit and claim a share of the spoils.

He said, “I'm disappointed, but if someone offered me 2-2 before the game I would take it because they're a very good team and we're playing away from home.

“Now is not the best feeling because we went two goals in front, were playing well and in five minutes it all changed. It was a blackout from our side, but we deserved to win with what we showed overall.

“A win today would've put us in tenth and that could've made a big difference. It's very tight in England, but in the end it balances itself out and there will be matches that we're not supposed to win and we do.

“We could be a bit higher, but there's such a small difference between tenth and where we are now in 13th."
