Brighton striker Joao Pedro was delighted after victory at Nottingham Forest.
Pedro struck twice in the 3-2 win, with Evan Ferguson also on the scoresheet.
The Brazilian later said: "Great win today, a tough game. We did well and deserved to win.
"[Roberto] De Zerbi always says to be ready. I'm happy to help the team to win today. There are a lot of injuries, the group is strong enough to play and win.
"Now we must think about the Europa League. It was difficult at the end. We kept going and fought to win."
