​Brighton boss Potter: Maupay deserved his Blades goal

Brighton manager Graham Potter says Neal Maupay's goal against Sheffield United was just reward for his selfless play.

The Frenchman's eighth goal of the season secured a valuable away point for Albion.

He said: "It was a reward for his overall performance and sacrifice for the team.

"Often what happens is we think the centre forward should score and we put pressure on them.

"Actually, the reality is his job is to do his best for the team, to work hard, to sacrifice, to run, all those things. Then, in the end, his quality will show.

"Neal Maupay has got quality and will score goals. That is why I am delighted for him.

"He gets his personal reward for a selfless performance."
