Brighton striker Neal Maupay hailed their team spirit for victory over Leicester City.

The Seagulls won 2-1 at Falmer stadium on Sunday.

The 25-year-old Maupay has three goals in five games and said: “I don't want to talk about the goals because you can start the season well and then you can struggle with confidence or you can get injured. As a striker it's hard to be consistent throughout the season, so I just take it game by game. I am happy with where we are as a team, but there is a lot more to come and we can improve.

“It was such a tough game against Leicester especially the last 25 minutes when we suffered a lot. We conceded two disallowed goals and were a bit lucky at times, but that's what it takes to win a game sometimes.

“I thought in the first half our plan was clear and we played really well on the ball and off it, we caused them some problems and I thought we deserved to be 2-0 up.

“They made some changes, changed their mentality, pressed us more and in the end we had to suffer, but we were really good as a team."
