Brighton & Hove Albion boss Chris Hughton says that the newly-promoted side are still trying to adapt to life in the Premier League.

Brighton & Hove Albion boss Chris Hughton has said that it has been easy to 'pick up his squad' after their 1-1 draw with Everton, as well as acknowledging that the club are still adapting to the Premier League.

Last weekend, Brighton were on course for their third win since earning promotion from the Championship in May before Wayne Rooney netted from the penalty spot to earn the Toffees a share of the spoils

Hughton has suggested that his team are still learning how to cope with the demands of the top flight, but insists that his players remain confident of keeping 14th-placed Brighton away from the relegation zone.

The 58-year-old told reporters: "It's not been difficult because we try to do it as soon as possible. I suppose the reality is that although it felt like a defeat, it wasn't.


"We had enough good periods in the game and showed good enough form that we'll continue to be encouraged.
 With that being the case, it's not so difficult to pick the players up. For us, every game is a challenge, every game is something new.


"We're a team that is having to get used to this division and the quality of it."

Brighton are next in action when they travel to the London Stadium to face West Ham United on Friday night.
