Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "Today we had a lack of energy, lack of intensity, but showed another face in the second half and could have won the game. It has cost us energy to chase the game. We need to be at the highest level from the start and need to find solutions for that.
"Every second phase, every second ball landed for a Leeds player. That's what we changed in the second half and we were a better team. We don't need long to change a game. We had plenty of chances, but it's all about fighting for the clean sheet and being better.
"Our start to the season can be better, can be worse. There were positives today but also things to improve."
