Backflip to stay for Brighton winger LuaLua

Championship Brighton winger Kazenga LuaLua says he will not stop his backflip goal celebration despite a recent knee injury. The 24-year-old, who was out of action for 10 weeks, scored for the first time in more than three months in Tuesday's 2-0 win over Derby County.

"I know the staff don't like it when I do a backflip," DR Congo-born LuaLua told BBC Radio Sussex.

"But I don't think anyone can stop me - it is how I celebrate."

Older brother Lomana, formerly with Newcastle and now playing in Turkey, is also noted for his aerial acrobatics.

"It is something in the family blood - it is always going to happen," LuaLua said.
