Brighton goalscorer Jack Hinshelwood has been speaking to BBC Radio Sussex following the draw at Amex Stadium: "We went down early but showed great character to get back into the game. We came in at half-time at 2-1 and, from that point, we can't be dropping points here at home. That was really frustrating.

"We need to become winners and be better at seeing games out. It will come but again it is frustrating. The manager has really been drumming that mentality into us and he will continue to, as we've dropped another two points here at home.

"As much as we are unbeaten and we are happy with the start, it is two games that we have come away from where we think we should have six points rather than two."

On scoring another header: "I like to arrive in the box and Joao Pedro has found me with a great ball. I have just tried to redirect it back across the goalkeeper and it was nice to see it hit the back of the net.

"But, again, it is so hard to be happy with that when we have come off the pitch with just one point."

On what they could have improved to get the three points: "I think we were very unlucky not to score the third goal, if that happens then it is a very different game. But, if we don't find that goal, then we've got to be resilient and together.

"For their second goal, there was a big gap in the midfield between myself and Mats [Wieffer]. We needed to shuffle over a bit more. There were just a few things that led to us being too open at the back.

"We need to learn from it and take these things on board to make sure it doesn't happen again."
