Chris Hughton concerned by lack of goals

Brighton & Hove Albion manager Chris Hughton has revealed his concerns over his side's failure to find the back of the net in their last three games.

Hughton watched on as Brighton missed chances before losing 2-0 to Bournemouth on Friday night, and even though the former Birmingham City boss was impressed with his team's general play, he admits that they must improve in the final third.

The 56-year-old is quoted by BBC Sport as saying: "For 70 minutes we were very good but Bournemouth showed why they are where they are in the league.

"We were the more likely to score in the first half but in the last period, we tried to push forward and they capitalised on it.

"I'm majorly concerned by the lack of goals. The facts are there to see - we haven't scored in our last three games."

Brighton currently sit nine points clear of safety in the Championship table.
