Ghana defender Tariq Lamptey has expressed excitement after Brighton and Hove Albion defeated Chelsea to reach the fifth round of the English FA Cup.
The 24-year-old produced an impressive display as the Seagulls came from behind to beat the Blues at Stamford Bridge, with the former Chelsea player picking the Man of the Match award.
“It’s a great win, big performance from the boys. The crowd is buzzing, so we're happy," he said in the post-match interview.
“These things happen in football, so it's good that everyone rallied round and showed the fighting spirit. We showed we are all together and worked hard to turn it around," he added.
Teammate Koaru Mitoma scored a beautiful goal to seal the win for the visitors. The Japanese attacker had been linked with several clubs in the January transfer window but he remained at Brighton.
“Fantastic goal. We know what qualities he has and he is a great person as well. We are really happy to have him,” said Lamptey.
