Brighton defender Jan Paul van Hecke has been speaking to Sky Sports following the draw: "I think we did quite well. We shouldn't have conceded the first goal, that shouldn't happen to us, but you can see a lot of character in the boys.

"We need to be more consistent. We have a really young team. The average age of our team is 23 years old. It is tough sometimes, but our guys fight for everything. Maybe you need a bit more experience to manage the game.

"In some parts, we are really good. Consistency is an important thing for us to get back where we need to be."

On Arsenal's opener: "[Ethan Nwaneri] was totally free on the right so he was able to come inside. We should have done better as a team."
