Brighton boss Potter hails Lamptey despite Aston Villa red

Brighton boss Graham Potter insists he's happy with Tariq Lamptey despite his dismissal in victory at Aston Villa.

Lamptey was sent off for a second yellow card in injury-time.

Potter said, "I thought he was fantastic. I haven't seen the challenge back. I'm not sure if it was worthy of a yellow. Regardless of that he was incredible. We are very happy with him."

On Villa's penalty being overturned, he also stated: "We've had four penalties against us this season so you are not quite sure what's going to happen.

"We defended well as a group. Our second was a really good team goal and a great finish by Solly March. I'm pleased for him because he influences games."
