Danny Welbeck struck twice either side Milos Kerkez's effort just before halftime for the 2-1 win in today's early kickoff.
Hurzeler said afterwards: "The intensity we brought on the pitch was key today. We pressed intense. We played intense. We brought a lot of energy onto the pitch. We created a lot of chances in the second half. I was pleased how everyone played and tried to outwork and outrun the opponent.
“We manage the key points better. I think that’s our only improvement, because we have always played good football but haven’t always gotten these release. We try to stay calm, stick to our principles and not overreact in certain moments, especially today when we concede a goal where we stayed calm and stuck to the basic things."
“I see a great team on the pitch. I see a team working and helping each other and I think that’s very important to win Premier League games."
On Yankuba Minteh's performance, he continued: “Yankuba Minteh is a great example of what it means to work hard, not just offensively but defensively. I always say to my team if you are successful as a team, if you create good connection, then you will get rewards as individuals but first of all you have to perform as a team, which is what they are doing at the moment."
The win moves Brighton into eighth place on the Premier League table and on Europe, Hurzeler added: “I think it’s very important now to stay humble, to understand where we were seven weeks ago, to where we are now, and to keep doing these things, and then see what happens.
