Brighton & Hove Albion manager Gus Poyet has said that he will accept his side's point at Charlton Athletic, but stopped short of declaring himself pleased.

Brighton twice battled back from going behind to claim a 2-2 draw and Poyet admitted that he would rather not have had to chase the game.

"A point is all right," Poyet said. "I'm not saying I'm happy but I will take it.

"The only problem we had was that we had to chase the game all the time. When you go down 1-0 you have to chase and you make mistakes.

"Then we scored and it looked like we had the game under control but we made a mistake and had to do it again."

Brighton remain eighth on goal-difference with the point.
