Brighton's World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister is full of praise for teammate Evan Ferguson.

The Irish youngster struck again in last night's 2-0 win at Bournemouth.

"Evan is an amazing player," said Argentina midfielder Mac Allister.

"He was not having his best evening, but he showed his quality."

Mac Allister added: "We are really happy for him, we know how important he is."

Seagulls manager Roberto de Zerbi also said: "Evan is very young.

"His best quality is to score and it's a very important quality, but I think he has potential to improve in other parts of the pitch, to play with the other players, to play more for the team.

"In my work I have to make results, but I have to help my players to improve, to progress. But I think we can achieve our target with Evan.

"I'm proud for him, I think the same for our scouting in our club. He can become a great player."
