Brighton captain Lewis Dunk admits he was wrong with his blast for ref Anthony Taylor last week.

Dunk was sent off for abusing Taylor during Brighton's win at Nottingham Forest - a first in the Premier League for 11 years.

"I spoke to Anthony straight after the game and apologised," said Dunk. "We had a good conversation about it."

He continued, "I let the boys down.

"That is on me. I am a leader of this football club and it's not good enough what I did.

"I have got to learn from that myself and be the role model to the other boys coming through, and that is not how you do it."
