Hull City boss Steve Bruce was full of praise for Albion after tonight’s 1-1 draw in the FA Cup at the Amex.

The visitors grabbed a replay with an equaliser four minutes from time.

Bruce said: “I want to say well done to Brighton. For a Championship side, you can see why they are at the top end of the division. They play some smashing football.

“They have been at the top end of the Championship for a long time now. There have been there or thereabouts, knocking on the door.

“You can sense when you walk through the door here there is a bit of a feelgood factor. They have big support, a good side, play good football so we expected a difficult game.

“The big boy up front Ulloa caused us problems all night. He is a very decent player.”
