Brighton manager Chris Hughton is confident his side can bounce back from Saturday's 5-0 home defeat to Bournemouth.

The Seagulls can all but seal their Premier League safety with a win over Cardiff City on Tuesday night.

And Hughton hopes they can forget about their nightmare showing against the Cherries.

"There won't be any difficulty in lifting the players," said Hughton. "They'll want to prove a point on Tuesday, they'll want to show an attitude that they were disappointed with Saturday.

"There won't be one player who hasn't been through a difficult period on the back of a bad defeat.

"The only way to turn it around and get the result you want is working as hard as you can and applying yourself as hard as you can.

"It's always about how you respond. You respond because you're a professional and because you don't have a choice - this is the game, the ups and downs of the game.

"I expect very much a reaction from our players."
