Brighton midfielder James Milner believes his side can build on a performance "full of desire" against West Ham on Tuesday despite the disappointing draw.
"It was a tough game," he told BBC Radio Sussex. "We knew they were dangerous on the break and they've got good players. I thought we started the game quite well but unfortunately conceded the goal and then the penalty; I haven't seen it back so I don't know but it seemed quite close.

"It didn't quite go our way, we didn't quite get the luck in front of goal but I think we saw a performance full of desire, full of effort from the boys. We're very disappointed not to get the win obviously but hopefully we can build on that performance, go again next time and get the three points."
Danny Welbeck scored one penalty and missed another at the London Stadium and Milner believes it can happen to anyone.
"He slotted the first one away really well but it's always difficult when you have two penalties in a game," Milner added. "It was unfortunate, he made a good decision down the middle but these things just happen.
"Everyone misses penalties and we had chances after that to win the game but we were just unfortunate."
