He defends forward - he plays forward and that's something special."It was the first time Brighton had won four consecutive Premier League games and moved firmly into contention for European qualification.

We have to understand why we are now in this situation, what makes us strong as a team, what makes us strong as individuals and that's what has to get in our mind."
