Brighton’s young head coach Fabian Hurzeler is putting his faith in two senior players who are significantly older than him to drive his team’s success this season.

Hurzeler is only 31 but two of the top performers in his side’s 2-1 victory over Manchester United on Saturday were James Milner, 38, and Danny Welbeck, 33.
