Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler is delighted with Yankuba Minteh's form - though insists he is benefiting from the work of his teammates.

Minteh laid on all three assists for Brighton's 3-1 win at Chelsea on Saturday.

On the winger's performance, Hurzeler said: “I think we can go through all our individual players.

“For me it is always, when you play well as a team, when you create chances, then the individual players can shine.

“You have to create the pattern that you have a one-against-one situation for Minteh against Cucurella, for example. This is always a team pattern.

“If you don’t have the right positioning, if you don’t play well, if you don’t ask for the ball, you might not get the midfielder free and then you don’t create this one-against-one situation.

“Overall, if the team plays well, if my team plays well, the individual will shine. Of course, Minteh is in great shape. He proves it now every weekend.

“I hope he stays in this flow and keeps staying humble and keeps working.”
