Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof insists there's plenty of positives to draw from victory over Brighton.

The Swede felt the clean sheet was a big bonus.

He said, "Very important points so of course, I'm very happy for that.

"It was a tough game, especially in the first-half but I think we came out in the second-half much better, managed to keep a clean sheet and score two goals. So very happy.

"Well of course a clean sheet is always very important, we know if we keep a clean sheet then we have great players up front who can score goals for us.

"I think if we as a team keep a clean sheet then it makes everything easier. Today [against Brighton] we didn't perform well in the first-half but we performed better in the second and I think overall we should be pleased with the performance in the second half and the three points.

"They're a good team, they have good players, even if they have one man less they're still very good on the ball and they created a few chances.

"I still felt confident in the way we defended, I can't run around during a game and think of stuff like that [that Brighton would score] just try to focus on my job and how the team performs."
