Speaking after the win over the Bees, Brighton ace Leandro Trossard, who scored the winning goal for his side, said: “I felt good today, it’s been a tough week with the travelling, but I really wanted to enjoy this game and I feel good at the moment with the minutes I am getting. The more games I can play the better I can play, the more enjoyable it is.
“[My position today] suited me, from a central position I can go out to either side and it’s tough to defend against me then. It’s nice to play wherever the gaffer puts me, whatever position I will give 100 per cent. But it worked well today and hopefully we can keep going.”
He added: “It’s been good [the start to the season for me]. It’s been a weird pre-season for me and then to come back to Premier League games, the more minutes I get the better I play. I hope I can get better.”
“We dug in as a team, we fought for the ball and we wanted to get the clean sheet. It’s really important for the confidence of the team and I think everyone was brilliant. We need to keep pushing each other like this every week and then the results will come.”
