Brighton winger Anthony Knockaert hailed their attitude for victory over West Brom.

Knockaert believes the result will give the squad a real confidence boost ahead of two crucial upcoming games against Bournemouth and Newcastle United.

He said, “We feel very good and very happy because it was the first win of the season.

“When you believe you can win games and you play with your heart, that's what happens and we've been magnificent in everything.

“We gave our life and in each ball we tried everything we could to take three points and finally, we have them.

“The group was really happy after the first goal of the season and I think it took some weight off our shoulders.
