Lewis Dunk insists Brighton deserved their 2-2 draw against Liverpool.

The Seagulls captain struck late for Brighton's equaliser and to secure a point at Falmer stadium.

He later said: "I think we were the better side throughout and then we had a funny five minutes. We have got to be better than that. We have shown great character to come back and get the draw."

"Sloppiness from us [let Liverpool take the lead]. I gave the ball away cheaply and they capitalised on that. We have to keep improving, keep learning and get better. After the defeat we have come back and got the draw today. It's just that final bit that the moment. We are a little bit off.

"I think I was covering and there were others covering. We had a good 40 minutes and a mad five minutes that killed us at the end of the half. I think we did well in the second half."

Fellow goalscorer Simon Adingra added: "It is a very good point for us today. After last match, it is a very good point.

"I think it is for the team you have to be ready all the time, when I am given my chance.

"It was a good point for us after the loss last week. The point today, in front of our fans, is good."
