Both bosses then accused each other of a lack of respect following a match which saw Saints denied a priceless victory by a VAR decision in the second half.
Flynn Downes had just cancelled out Kaoru Mitoma’s opener when Cameron Archer converted a cross from Saints substitute Ryan Fraser.
A check of more than four minutes decided Archer was onside but penalised Adam Armstrong, who was offside but did not touch the ball, for interfering.
The managers had also been booked during the match; Hurzeler was issued a yellow card for waving an imaginary card in the first half.
Martin was cautioned for his reaction to more protests from the Brighton boss after a foul by Downes, who was on a yellow and lucky to still be on the pitch.
“That’s exactly what I said at half-time,” said Hurzeler. “Then he makes another foul.

“There’s no explanation, it changes the game. But you have to be very careful about what you say in England. My yellow card I can’t understand.”
Pressed on his altercation with Martin after the final whistle, the German added: “For me, it’s just important to have respect.
“It’s important to respect each other and how you talk to each other. It’s so important. That’s how I was educated. Ask him about it. ”
Martin was unimpressed with his opposite number’s antics and press conference comments and responded: “Respect is reciprocal. It’s mutual.
“The manager decided to say something about respect. The number of times in the opposition dugout that he asked for a booking for one of our players.
“I’ve never known it to be to that level. But it’s no problem. We’re both trying to win so it’s no problem.”
