Gross hails Mitoma after Brighton win at Wolves

Brighton midfielder Pascal Gross says victory at Wolves was deserved.

Gross scored in the 3-2 win.

He said, "[I'm] really happy, back to back wins are massive for us. We needed that. We had some good performances before where we didn't get the result. In the last two games we've played well, I think we deserved the three points today.

On scoring his goal, he added: "I was in the box, hoping the ball comes towards me. Deniz [Undav] had a good turn, the ball came to me. It was going quicker and quicker so I had to slide tackle it in. A great goal for us.

"I think we could have played better against 10 men. That's where we can improve. That's where you have to move quicker to make the opponent tired. We get there in the end, we had some half-chances. Then it was patience and waiting for a chance."

On Kaouru Mitoma, Gross concluded: "[He's] really good. The pace he has is exceptional. One v one he's really good. He's a really good player and I think he can have a big impact."
