Graham Potter makes honest points admission after final day loss at Arsenal

Potter has vowed to keep improving this Albion side

Nicolas Pepe fired two past Brighton in the second half to give Arsenal a 2-0 victory on the final day of the season

Brighton manager Graham Potter said he was left disappointed after the 2-0 defeat to Arsenal but promised his side will 'keep improving'.

Albion missed out on the opportunity to record their best ever Premier League points total as Nicolas Pepe's second half brace secured victory for the Gunners on the final day of the season.

Brighton needed either a draw or a win to beat their highest ever points tally in the Premier League (41), which was achieved last season.

Potter said after the game his side has improved despite the points tally implying they have plateaued.

The Brighton boss said: “We finished with the same points as last season but I think our performances have improved and I believe we have taken a step forward, which is important. I’m proud that we have stayed in the Premier League.

“It’s hard to keep improving in the Premier League but that’s what we will try to do.
