Ryan shocked by Hughton's Brighton sacking

Australian goalkeeper Mat Ryan has expressed his shock at seeing Brighton and Hove Albion manager Chris Hughton sacked after the final Premier League match of the season.

Hughton, who has been in charge of Brighton since 2014, was shown the door by the club after they narrowly avoided relegation - finishing just two points clear of the drop.

Ryan had firmly established himself as number one under Hughton and revealed his surprise at the decision on social media.
