Brighton chief exec Paul Barber says last week's 6-0 rout of Wolves was one of the club's great days.

The result marked Brighton's biggest scoreline in the top-flight.

In his match programme notes for tonight's visit of Manchester United, Barber wrote: "Last Saturday's match here against Wolverhampton Wanderers was, without doubt, one of our best performances of the season. Our 6-0 victory was our highest at this level and also took us to our record points total in the Premier League.

"We have also secured more wins and scored more goals than in any of our previous Premier League seasons. Indeed, two goals each from Deniz Undav, Pascal Gross and Danny Welbeck were just rewards for an entirely dominant team performance from start to finish, and one that was enjoyed by another sell-out attendance in the sunshine.

"After a tough week, which had included the midweek trip to Nottingham Forest, Roberto made changes and it was great to see both Deniz and Billy Gilmour, whose opportunities have been limited this season, making such a positive impact. For us, in addition to the wonderful attacking football Roberto and his staff have inspired the team to play, we are particularly pleased to see so many of our younger players being given the opportunity to make big contributions to our season.

"Moises Caicedo (21), Levi Colwill (20), Evan Ferguson (18), Julio Enciso (19), Facundo Buonanotte (18), Jeremy Sarmiento (20), Jan Paul van Hecke (22), Yasin Ayari (19) and Billy (21) all make World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister look like a veteran at just 24!"
