Brighton & Hove Albion manager Sami Hyypia bemoans lack of focus

Brighton & Hove Albion boss Sami Hyypia has admitted that a lack of concentration cost his side during their 3-3 draw with Norwich City on Saturday.

The Seagulls were minutes away from claiming an important win at Carrow Road before Gary Hooper scored to earn a point for the hosts.

"I'm sure my colleague will say his side should have won the game, but I think all the goals we conceded could have been avoided," Hyypia told BBC Sport.

"Even their second, which was a brilliant strike, would not have happened if we had cleared the ball properly, as we should have.

"We were guilty of lapses in concentration and they cost us. It's just a case now of analysing the game and seeing how we can do better."

The result has moved Brighton clear of the Championship relegation zone on goal difference.
