Brighton goalscorer Joao Pedro has been speaking to TNT Sports after the win: "First of all, I'm very happy for the win. I think that the goal at the end shows how much we wanted to win the game - [our] first game at home against a big team. I cannot feel better than today. I think the team did well and now we need to rest because we have another big game next weekend."

On the fans' reaction at full-time: "I think the fans know the power of the team, so they always expect a great game against big teams. Today we won, so I think everyone is happy and we need to enjoy it."

On staying motivated in the game: "Like the gaffer said to us, we need to believe in ourselves. We know they are Manchester United - a big club - but I think everyone wants to show our power. I think this is what motivates us to fight against the big teams and then you never know. Now we need to think about the next game, [against] another big team."

On Fabian Hurzeler's impact: "I think he is a very good person. He always tries to push us to believe in ourselves and to keep it going. I think it was another big game for us, another three points, and this is what he wants: to fight and push until the end."
