Brighton striker Danny Welbeck says the players are excited about Europe after last night's 1-1 draw with Manchester City.

The result confirms Brighton for the Europa League next season.

Welbeck said: "It means a lot. We have worked really hard this season. It has been difficult, we've had a transition with a new manager coming in and everyone has responded in a brilliant way. To get Europa League football is amazing.

"From top to bottom the club is outstanding. It has some amazing people in it. We want to improve every day as players and people. It is an amazing club for youngsters to come to, to get professional football and play in the first team.

"This club is on a rise and we can't wait for the Europa League next season."
