Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi was delighted after their dramatic 1-0 win against Manchester United on Thursday night.
A 99th minute penalty from Alexis Mac Allister saw the hosts triumph on the night.
De Zerbi later said: "Really happy and delighted for the performance and result.
"There is a god of football. We deserved to win the semi-final but lost on penalties but today we won with a penalty.
"In both games I think we played better than United. The last result was unfair."
On the penalty, he said: "It was a very tough moment. I preferred not to see!
"We played a fantastic game, we dominated the game. My players deserved to win.
"We are to play another six games, six very tough games. Monday we play the first tough game against Everton and we have to win. If we don't win against them we will lose these three points"
