Burnley boss Kompany impressed by Brighton progress

Burnley boss Vincent Kompany is impressed by today's opponents Brighton.

Kompany played his final game for Manchester City against Brighton.

“It's funny because they've become one of the top sides now in the league," he said.

“I remember playing against them in my last ever game about four years ago and the progress they've made since then is incredible.

“They stayed up, maybe on the last day of the season or the game before that, but we won the title there so that was my last game there.

“I think we had 90 per cent of the ball or whatever and it was a game we were expected to win, but if you look at the progress they've made since, they've managed to establish themselves in every way possible as one of the top teams in this division.

“That's due to many things behind the scenes as well."
