Fulham defender Chambers: Beating Brighton proof of character

Fulham defender Calum Chambers says victory over Brighton is proof of the team's spirit.

Back in October as they struggled to cope on their return to the Premier League, fellow Cottagers defender Tim Ream said "there are not enough guys who want it" in the squad.

But after Tuesday's win, Chambers said: “We have shown we have the stomach for the fight. We were 2-0 down, conditions weren't nice, we could have easily crumbled — but we didn't.

“We showed fighting spirit, we showed character and we showed a bit of pride. I think that's what we are capable of and that's what we need to do every game from now on. That's going to be crucial. We have got to look at that second-half performance and what we did well. We have got to learn from that and take it into the next game.

“That is the important thing – to try and build a bit of momentum. I think we can take a lot of positives from the second-half and go into the next games knowing we are capable of that."
