Fabian Hurzeler has issued an apology to Brighton<\/a> fans following the side’s embarrassing 7-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest<\/a>, admitting ‘everything went wrong’ at the City Ground.<\/p>\n

Chris Wood completed a stunning hat-trick to continue his remarkable run in the Premier League<\/a> this season, with Morgan Gibbs-White, Nico Williams and Jota Silva also hitting the target after Lewis Dunk<\/a>’s early own goal.<\/p>\n

Forest were themselves thrashed by Bournemouth last weekend and the response could hardly have been more emphatic from Nuno Espirito Santo’s men in front of a rapturous home crowd.<\/p>\n

The result saw Forest open up a five-point gap over fourth-placed Newcastle in the table, with Eddie Howe’s side welcoming Fulham to St James’ Park this afternoon.<\/p>\n

The Seagulls, meanwhile, remain stranded down in tenth place after a second successive defeat in the league and will aim to bounce back when they face Chelsea in the FA Cup fourth round in a week’s time.<\/p>\n

‘In the end, we are responsible for the performance, we are responsible for the result,’ Brighton head coach Hurzeler told TNT Sports shortly after the final whistle.<\/p>\n

‘That was not the performance we wanted to show and we are very disappointed. <\/p>\n

‘We can just apologise for every supporter, for every fan that’s outside supporting us, for this result and this performance.<\/p>\n

‘When you lose 7-0, I think everything went wrong so to choose a particular player or a particular phase of the game is not the right thing.<\/p>\n

‘In the end, you win as a team and today we lose as a team, so we have to stick together, we have to analyse it and be honest to each other.’<\/p>\n

Brighton were without Carlos Baleba and Yasin Ayari in midfield but Hurzeler refused to use the duo’s absence as an excuse for the heavy loss.<\/p>\n

‘I wouldn’t say that was the main reason,’ the German said.<\/p>\n

‘In the end, football is about doing the basic things right: running, counter-pressing, reacting, and I think with these things weren’t on our highest level and therefore we weren’t able to keep a clean sheet.<\/p>\n

You can’t win in the Premier League playing like this.’<\/p>\n

Espirito Santo was understandably delighted with the way his team managed to pick themselves up in the wake of their crushing setback against Bournemouth.<\/p>\n

‘After what happened last week, the answer was good. We get punched, we get up. That was fantastic,’ the Forest manager explained.<\/p>\n

‘These results are not normal in the Premier League. There’s always a reason. Last week, we didn’t do well and Bournemouth were ruthless. The same happened today with us and Brighton.<\/p>\n

‘We got some luck with the first goal, that was the moment that Brighton wanted to react. We got lucky and after that I think we controlled it really well and, going forward, we were really good.’<\/p>\n

Espirito Santo reserved special praise for Anthony Elanga, who wreaked havoc against Brighton and came away from the came with a hat-trick of assists.<\/p>\n

On Elanga’s partnership with Wood in attack, he said: ‘It’s good. I think it’s routines, habits, getting to know better the spaces.<\/p>\n

‘Anthony was amazing today.’<\/p>\n
