Burnley assistant manager Bellamy: Don't blame Aro

Burnley assistant manager Craig Bellamy says they're happy with their 1-1 draw against Brighton.

Josh Brownhill had Burnley ahead before an error from Aro Muric handed Brighton an equaliser.

Bellamy said: "Good game. We played well especially first half, created a lot of chances against an outstanding team. They are manager by a brilliant manager, have outstanding players but we've bene playing really well.

"The penalty I'm not sure on I thought he got the ball. I have no complaints for that. Jakub missed a big chance and those moments against a team of quality you have to make them count. that was probably the most disappointing part of today but apart from that it was a good performance.

"We were able to get through the lines and move the ball well, the gaps opened up and we were able to find them. Got ourselves in good positions and today it was just the final finish."

On Muric's mistake for the goal conceded, he added: "It's the way we play. It happens. It's not his fault it's our fault. It's how we play and it's not Aro's fault, it's our fault. We take full responsibility for that."
