Brighton goalscorer Ferdi Kadioglu has been speaking to BBC Radio Sussex following the Seagulls' Carabao Cup third round win: "A very special moment for me. It was my first goal for my new club in my second match. We go into the next round so I'm very happy.

"The other two goals were very nice - mine was not so nice but it was just as important as the other goals.

"We controlled the first half very well and got 2-0 in front. They didn't create that many chances so their first goal was really not necessary. In the second half, I think it was a good game from us but, at 3-1 up, we have to control it better.

"We don't need to take so many risks in the build-up and with the ball, but we will learn from that and we have to be ready for Sunday now."

On the importance of continuing their unbeaten run: "It is very important. I don't think other teams are happy to play against Brighton [at the minute]."

On getting more minutes after returning from the injury he picked up in pre-season: "It was really frustrating for myself [to be injured]. I played 60 games last season so I'm not used to being injured.

"After the game against Ipswich, I didn't feel really well so I wasn't able to play a lot of minutes in this game - but 10 minutes and one goal is not bad!"
