Brighton 1-1 West Ham: What Rutter said

Brighton's Georginio Rutter has been speaking to Sky Sports after rescuing a point for the Seagulls with a stoppage-time goal: "It feels amazing to get my first goal of the season. I'm very happy, but we only take one point so that is frustrating.

"West Ham are very good and very compact. We were waiting for them to make a mistake. We didn't score in the first half and we had a lot of chances, but we scored in the end. We are a good group, so we have to keep going."

On scoring his goal: "I was confused and scared about the VAR. Normally I'm too far away from the box, so I've been training and it has paid off today."
