​Brighton manager Potter delighted with 'fantastic point' against West Ham

Brighton boss Graham Potter could not hide his delight at grabbing a point against high flying West Ham United.

The Albion have been experiencing a mixed patch of results, failing to win in their last five league games.

However, Potter felt they were very good value for a point away from home after the 1-1 draw with the Hammers on Wednesday in the Premier League.

He told Match of the Day:"There's a really good spirit in the team and the club, we will fight until the end. We were down to 10 but still scored and the performance deserved that.

"It's a fantastic point. The trick is to turn possession into goal chances and it's not easy to do against West Ham as Tomas Soucek and Declan Rice defend the box very well.

"You have no divine right to win matches, you have to earn them. But we're picking up points and you have to keep going on. We want to win and will try again on Saturday."
