Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi was delighted with his young striker Evan Ferguson on Sunday.

The Italian has been critical of Ferguson in recent times, admitting the youngster was not at his best.

However, Ferguson was back on the goal trail, scoring in a 1-1 draw with Fulham.

Post-game, De Zerbi told reporters of the teenager: “Ferguson is not in the best moment of him but he is a different player for us.

“He is a different striker we have in the squad.

“I think he can play better but he is not in the best moment.

“Today he played a good game."
