Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi was delighted with victory over Bournemouth.

Kaoru Mitoma headed the late winner as Albion beat Bournemouth 1-0.

But he finished the game very strongly and soared to meet Jeremy Sarmiento's cross for the breakthrough.

Head coach De Zerbi said: Mitoma didn't play the best game of his life but he can always score.

I can never substitute him because I felt during the game he could score.

I think it was one of the best games of my time in terms of quality of play, number of shots, attitude to find the win.

We played a lot of young players and for us it was very important Enciso, Buonanotte, Sarmiento, Lamptey, Bill Gilmour, Undav.

There wasn't Mac Allister, Lallana, Colwill, Ferguson Moises Caicedo in the first half.

So it was a very difficult game and to win is very important.

We deserved to win absolutely."
