Joy for boss Poyet after Brighton beat his former club

Brighton manager Gus Poyet was a happy man after his team’s victory over his former club Chelsea.

Albion hit back to win 3-1 at the Amex Stadium after Frank Lampard had put the Blues ahead.

Poyet said: “We found ourselves for long periods without the ball, which is new for us, but the boys did the basics and I’m very pleased for them.

“We started well until their goal – which was conceded too easily – but there was a very good reaction. They gave everything.

“The idea was to do the basics – defend – and we did that apart from the goal. I’m very pleased.”
