Albion winger Anthony Knockaert spoke after this afternoon's 0-0 draw at Watford about the shocking Miguel Britos tackle on him and whether Brighton should have had a second half penalty.

Knockaert, making his first Premier League start of the season, was floored by a knee-high Britos challenge after 25 minutes, which saw the Watford man sent off - the third time he has been dismissed since the start of the 2016/17 season.

Speaking afterwards Knockaert said it was the worst-ever tackle on him and said: "I saw him coming in to do a bad challenge. The first thing I tried to do was avoid the tackle but I couldn't. I was lucky I was able to carry on for the game."
