Brighton & Hove Albion captain Lewis Dunk delivered a succinct yet heartfelt message to supporters in the wake of his side’s 2-2 draw against struggling Leicester City. In an Instagram post, Dunk expressed his disappointment over the result, stating: “Really disappointing day. +1 but that’s not enough, we need to get back to winning ways. Thank you for sticking with us.”
The match saw Brighton twice take the lead through João Pedro’s accurate penalty finishes, but they were unable to hold on, as Leicester responded with goals from Stephy Mavididi and Caleb Okoli. The Seagulls created several clear-cut chances but failed to convert them, nearly conceding a late winner when Bilal El Khannouss struck the post.
Dunk, who had a difficult afternoon and was partially at fault for Leicester’s first goal after a costly miscontrol, acknowledged the team’s need to regain momentum. Despite the error, manager Fabian Hürzeler came to his captain’s defense, saying, “I’ll never single Lewis out. He’s our skipper, a club legend, and he’ll fight hard to help us bounce back—just like the rest of the team.”
The draw leaves Brighton’s European hopes hanging by a thread, amplifying the importance of a swift return to form.
