Brighton boss Graham Potter insists he's happy with Tariq Lamptey despite his dismissal in victory at Aston Villa.

Lamptey was sent off for a second yellow card in injury-time.

Potter said, "I thought he was fantastic. I haven't seen the challenge back. I'm not sure if it was worthy of a yellow. Regardless of that he was incredible. We are very happy with him."

On Villa's penalty being overturned, he also stated: "We've had four penalties against us this season so you are not quite sure what's going to happen.

"We defended well as a group. Our second was a really good team goal and a great finish by Solly March. I'm pleased for him because he influences games."
