Brighton 3-0 Chelsea: What Hurzeler and Welbeck said

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler, speaking to Match of the Day: "Definitely a positive feeling. We played a good football game. It is not just about the result but also what we brought on the pitch - the identity, we were in every phase. It was not just parts of the game that was good but the overall performance. I am proud of the boys.

"Everyone has the intention to start well, but in particular tonight, it felt it was crucial to really show we wanted to win this game.

"We wanted to bring the fans behind us and build a connection and an atmosphere. You always need to bring this intensity on the pitch for the crowd."

On moving into the top six: "It is not that important for us. It is keep focusing on the performance and keep focusing on what we can do right. We have high expectations on ourselves. I always say focus on the process because you will get the results you deserve if you focus on what you can control."

Brighton goalscorer Danny Welbeck, speaking to Sky Sports following their win against Chelsea: "We started well, got an early goal which put us in a great position. I think everyone, down to a man, was brilliant, winning their duels, fighting for the ball, second balls.

"It was a really good performance, really strong. It's good to get three goals and a clean sheet. It's positive, sets us up nicely going into the last few games of the season."

On how Fabian Hurzeler's plan allows for flexibility: "JP [van Hecke] is an incredible player. Not only is he an incredible centre back, he's got the ability to step into midfield, to create things from the back and, as you've seen today, step into midfield and play decisive passes as well.

"You've got to use the strengths of the players. With the way the manager sets us up, we always have different patterns where players are rotating, players are stepping forward with the ball, there's lots of options to play forward."
