Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler has hailed European qualification as another significant milestone in the history of the club. Despite the disappointment of ending the season with a 3-0 home defeat by Manchester United, Brentford's failure to win at Liverpool meant Brighton were able to reach the UEFA Conference League, even though Sunderland leapfrogged them on the final day. The Brighton fans quickly shrugged off the disappointment of their team's performance against Manchester United to celebrate the achievement.
