Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi hailed the performance of Evan Ferguson for victory over Southampton.
The Irish youngster struck twice in the 3-1 win.
It means Ferguson now has ten goals in his first senior season.
Ferguson's improvement has been incredible," said De Zerbi.
"He's playing like an old player but he is only 18. There is a good dressing room with the mentality to help all our younger players, Gilmour, Colwill, Enciso and Buonanotte we are a very strong team."
