Post-match quotes from Eddie Howe
"We're frustrated that we gave them the goals at the start of both halves but the lads showed great fighting spirit to come back.
"The manner that we conceded those goals is disappointing. We needed to defend better to win today because I thought that was a possibility for us.
"It's an away point. We wanted three today but we'll take the point. It's important not to lose to teams in and around us."

Post-match quotes from Chris Hughton
"I thought we were good. Some of the areas that we needed to address and be better in, I thought we were very good in those departments.
"I'm hugely disappointed, having gone in front a couple of times, that we didn't win.
"We had the better clear-cut chances and that's what makes it more disappointing."

Post-match quotes from Glenn Murray
On the match ending as a draw: "I think it's difficult to take it all in. I don't think the pitch helped either team. 2-2 is probably a fair result."
On becoming Brighton's highest scorer at the Amex: "It's nice to break those records but, yeah, it was an important goal for us. I think after going in front twice, we see drawing as a missed opportunity."
