Brighton boss Chris Hughton was happy to have Lewis Dunk back for their 1-0 win over Everton.
Dunk returned to keep a clean sheet alongside Shane Duffy in the heart of defence, and Hughton was pleased to see the pair rekindle their successful partnership.
“It's important because they know each other very well, and that's not taking anything away from Leon Balogun, who's played well in the last few games for us.
“But they're a partnership that know each other very well, and they had to deal with a fair bit of pressure towards the end of the game.
“It's been a good year for us. We're on the back of two really good performances, both at home against two very good teams.
“That puts us in good stead, but we now go through a difficult away game on Wednesday and we'll have to show a lot of what we've showed over the last two games."
