Brighton faced a frustrating encounter against Burnley, with manager Roberto de Zerbi expressing his belief that a top team and coach would have found a way to triumph.
Despite dominating the game, the Seagulls had to settle for a solitary point, as a blend of missed opportunities and impressive saves by the opponent's goalkeeper, James Trafford, kept them at bay.
The ground owners' frustration was evident as they struggled to capitalize on their dominance, with only Simon Adingra's late equalizer salvaging a point.
The result leaves Brighton reflecting on what could have been, emphasizing the importance of efficiency in front of goal and the resilience of opponents, even in the face of a one-man stand like Trafford's.
"I don’t think there is anyone more than me who believes in my players but we are a very good team, we are not a top team yet.
"A top team wins today, (would have) won against Sheffield United, won with Fulham. Winning the three games we would be at third place in the table.
"We deserve to win these three games, then why didn’t we? Maybe it is because we are not a top team yet. Maybe because the coach of Brighton is not a top coach yet." the Italian manager confessed via Daily Mail.
