Brighton goalkeeper Verbruggen: Trafford brilliant for Burnley

Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen praised James Trafford after Saturday's 1-1 draw with Burnley.

Trafford was superb between the posts for Burnley on the day.

Verbruggen said: “He played a brilliant game.

“You also have to give credit to the opponent when he deserves it.

“I think he was outstanding and made a couple of important saves.

“So good for him. but not good for us.

"Of course we should have won this game. We created loads of opportunities. And should have scored more than one but also shouldn't have conceded. So not happy.

"It took a big deflection off James Milner's calf, I think it was.

"It's part of football and you also have to try to save those."
