Practice makes perfect says Hurzeler amid Brighton's scoring struggles

Fabian Hurzeler knows Brighton must improve in front of goal and is not taking Friday's visit of poor travellers Brentford for granted.

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler insisted that his side are working hard to end their struggles in front of goal ahead of facing Brentford in the Premier League on Friday. 

The Seagulls were guilty of missing several chances in their 1-1 draw with West Ham last time out, with only six of their 12 efforts on target at the London Stadium. 

Brighton have alternated between a draw (three) and defeat (two) in their last five Premier League games, dropping to 10th in the table after a strong start to the season. 

Hurzeler's side have scored more than one goal in just one of their last five top-flight fixtures, but have found the back of the net in their last 13 Premier League games.

While the Brighton boss was not panicked by his side's situation in front of goal, he acknowledged it must improve moving forward if they are to challenge for European football. 

"Not in an artificial way. We train a lot, we continue to train a lot. It is not a case of because we are not scoring a lot we train more," Hurzeler said. 

"We have experts for the strikers, experts for the defenders, so we try to improve the players with every training session."
