Nathan Jones hailed “one of the best defences in the league” as Albion grabbed a win today.

The Seagulls’ assistant head coach admitted they were far from at their fluent best in the 1-0 success at Millwall.

But he savoured the win after frustration in the 2-1 defeat by Wigan last week.

Jones said: “It was a massive contrast to the game last week.

“We created a lot of chances and really played well against a good side last week.

“We came here and had to battle, we had to show a different side.

“We had to show why we have got one of the best defences in the league.

“That’s what we did on a difficult pitch and against a side that is battling for points.

“It wasn’t pretty but three points is what it’s all about today.”
