Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler waas fuuming with the penalty his side conceded in the 1-1 draw with Bournemouth. Bournemouth took the lead from the penalty spot after referee Paul Tierney initially booked Amine Adli for diving. After a VAR intervention, Tierney deemed Seagulls goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen had caught Adli on the thigh, allowing Marcus Tavernier to score. “For me it’s not a penalty, but we have to accept people make mistakes,” Hurzeler said. “It’s difficult to speak in that moment to the referee.
