Roberto Di Zerbi questioned if Brighton are a “big team” following their failure to beat Burnley on Saturday.

At the Amex Stadium, the Seagulls were denied all three points thanks to a remarkable performance from James Trafford, who made an astonishing ten saves.

When Wilson Odobert gave them a first-half lead, the visitors threatened to take all three points, but Simon Adingra headed Brighton level. While De Zerbi believes his team played well and deserved to win, he believes their mentality needs to alter if they are to progress in the Premier League.

“I am disappointed with the result,” he told reporters.

“We played a great second-half after a good first-half. We could have pushed with more energy and we conceded another stupid goal.
