Brighton goalkeeper Ryan happy playing out from the back

Mat Ryan says he is happy playing out from the back under Brighton boss Graham Potter.

The Australian tops the Premier League charts for most short passes.

He said: "I think it is an asset that you have as a goalkeeper, which is only going to help you, definitely with the direction the game is going.

"We work hard on that aspect and if you were to ask the coaching staff hopefully they would be full of praise for us goalkeepers in how we have immersed into it, adapted and worked hard at getting better at it.

"We try to do that every day, we set high standards for ourselves and we are enjoying the changes that are being made."
