Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi has congratulated Adam Webster on returning to the team.

The centre back was in action after two months out with an injury issue, pushing his team to a 1-0 win over Aston Villa.

With Villa only managing 0.06xG in the game, one of the lowest figures they're recorded in two seasons, De Zerbi was impressed.

He stated: “I gave my congratulations to him.

“I am happy for his performance.

“Unfortunately he didn't play so many games this season.

“JP van Hecke has played very well.

“He (Webster) suffered two or three injuries.

“But, anyway, he is an important player for us.

“He played very well and he showed a great physical condition. He was faster than other games he played."
