Brighton goalkeeper Jason Steele: Beating Man Utd like that was special

Brighton goalkeeper Jason Steele insists their 1-0 win against Manchester United wasn't about revenge.

A 99th minute penalty from Alexis Mac Allister saw the hosts triumph on the night just weeks after United had beaten Brighton in the FA Cup semifinal penalties.

Steele said: "That was special. It was a big night for us. We played really well. It was two good teams going toe to toe, really enjoyable to play in.

"It wasn't about revenge or anything like that. Did we have a little bit extra motivation? Yes probably but I don't think it spilled over into anymore than that and I think we deserved to win.

"Massive. It is a big three points for us."
