Brighton midfielder Dale Stephens has no doubts about the potential of Aaron Connolly.

he 19-year-old grabbed the headlines with a double strike against Tottenham on his first Prem start.

Asked whether Connolly has the ability to get under defenders' skins, Stephens replied: “Yes, he's got that side to his game and he's going to need it.

“He's not a big lad, and he has got different abilities to a big centre-forward but he can use what he has got to his advantage.

“Being a pain and a pest is what he is good at and that proved good for us (against Tottenham)."
