Brighton Must Stay Humble After Historic Win Ahead of Arsenal Clash

A Night to Remember at Old Trafford

Brighton achieved something truly historic on Wednesday night. They became the first team since 1976 to overturn a two goal deficit and win a match at Old Trafford.

The Seagulls looked down and out against Manchester United in the Carabao Cup. However, they staged a brilliant comeback to secure a 3-2 victory. Substitute Maxim De Cuyper scored the winning goal to seal the win and send Brighton into the fourth round.

The result leaves Manchester United manager Michael Carrick under pressure. Carrick admitted that his side could not accept the performance and stated that he takes full responsibility for the cup exit.

Hürzeler Urges Calm

While fans are celebrating, Brighton manager Fabian Hürzeler is keeping his feet firmly on the ground. He believes that confidence is important but insists his squad must stay focused.

The manager emphasized that his team cannot take their recent success for granted. He wants his players to remember what got them to this point in the first place.

"I think that we have to stay very, very humble now and get an understanding why we are in the place where we are," Hürzeler said.

The manager explained that success comes down to hard work and attention to detail. He wants his team to focus on the basics rather than getting distracted by their historic cup win.

Back to Hard Work

Hürzeler wants his players to prepare themselves for another difficult test. He noted that the team needs to work hard in every single match to keep growing.

According to the manager, the players must step onto the pitch with the right mindset. They need to understand that success is not guaranteed.

"It's hard, hard work, it's doing the basic things right, and then we can grow into the game," Hürzeler said. He added that once the team does those basic things, their belief will help them show how good they really are.
