The former Leeds United forward then set up Danny Welbeck, who nodded home to complete Brighton’s comeback.

What has been said?

After the match, Welbeck told Sky Sports: “It is obviously amazing to win the game and get the three points. In the first half we were bitterly disappointed and frustrated – the performance we put in was embarrassing.

“Nothing we want to be part of, but we showed our character. The attitude was right in the second half we come out and fought.

“We have got to give credit to the senior boys who are not in the pitch the likes, of Steely [Jason Steele] and [James] Milner – they told us the bare minimum is we’ve got to fight. Everyone is together in this.

“We are wanting to be challenging the establishment like the management touched upon.”
