Roberto de Zerbi says a top team and coach would have found a way to beat Burnley after Brighton were frustrated by the visitors and their goalkeeper, James Trafford.<\/p>\n
Brighton had only Simon Adingra\u2019s late equaliser to show for their dominance, after a bad combination of squandered chances and Trafford saves left them forced to settle for one point.<\/p>\n
De Zerbi said: \u2018I don\u2019t think there is anyone more than me who believes in my players but we are a very good team, we are not a top team yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘A top team wins today, (would have) won against Sheffield United, won with Fulham. Winning the three games we would be at third place in the table.<\/p>\n
\u2018We deserve to win these three games, then why didn\u2019t we? Maybe it is because we are not a top team yet. Maybe because the coach of Brighton is not a top coach yet.\u2019<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Roberto de Zerbi has insister that Brighton are not yet a top side and he is not yet a top coach<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
De Zerbi could only help his Brighton side to a draw against Burnley with a late equaliser<\/p>\n

Adingra finally levelled for Brighton with 13 minutes left. In total they had 29 attempts and 71 per cent possession.<\/p>\n
But 10 stops from Trafford, including especially crucial ones in the closing stages from Adingra, Jack Hinshelwood and Kaoru Mitoma, were a big reason why Burnley were able to leave with a point.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And Kompany said: \u2018In games like today, without someone having an outstanding performance, you never get results.\u2019<\/p>\n
