Fabian Huerzeler has highlighted the part fans played in a famous Albion fightback.

Now he is hoping to tap into that fervour again when Premier League action resumes.

The Seagulls are sixth during the October international break after coming from 2-0 down to beat Tottenham 3-2.

Huerzeler is keen to have a strong connection between team and crowd and said that helped them beat Spurs.

He said of the Tottenham game: “The players won their personal duels, they played with more energy.

“And then you also win the crowd back. That is what I also said to the team.

“We have to use the crowd more. You can only get it back by our energy on the pitch and I think that was the thing that brought back the self confident mentality.”

Albion have 12 points from seven games, losing just once, and Huerzeler said they have responded to challenges and instructions.

He added: “They are quick to adapt to small little things.

“We got smashed last week by Chelsea and we learned out of it and they showed personality.

“To win Premier League games is about keeping the momentum and using it.

“In all the games we had we always had momentum and didn’t use it all the time.”
