Brighton attacker Alexis Mac Allister admits the prospect of Europa League qualifying is exciting the players.

Alexis was speaking after victory at Arsenal on Sunday.

We knew that it was an important game and we wanted this reaction from the team after the defeat against Everton, so we were very happy for the win," Alexis told the club's website. It was a difficult game, they pressed us very well, but the three goals were important.

They changed their pressing style in the second half and that benefited us, it helped us a little bit more, but we tried playing the same game. We were more accurate in the second half and scored the goals."

We have a target to get in the Europa League and we knew this game was important to achieve this. It is a victory that puts you up there but there are still four important games. The fans transmitted passion too, which is what we want."

Champions League football is still mathematically possible, though the midfielder added: It is more of a dream [Champions League] and we know there are really strong teams up there.

We are focusing on the Europa League, because we believe qualifying is very possible."
