  7. 'A good milestone to have' - Welbeck finally hits 10 goals in a season

    For the first time in his career, the 34-year-old striker hit double figures for Premier League goals in a single season with his penalty in Saturday's 2-0 win at Wolves.

    Shining for Brighton in the twilight of his career, Welbeck's latest contribution helped ensure the Seagulls remain firmly in the fight to secure European football with just two games remaining.

    "It is a good milestone to have - and I feel like it could have been more," said Welbeck, who scored on his Premier League debut for Manchester United as a 17-year-old in November 2008.

    "I'm looking forward to improving. We have two more games left and hopefully I'll get some more [goals]."

    Much of the former Manchester United, Arsenal and Watford player's career has been disrupted by persistent injury issues, at least prior to his arrival on the south coast.

    But he has now made as many as 29 appearances in three consecutive Premier League seasons for the first time in his career, helping him to at last score 10 goals in a campaign.

    He is one goal away from matching his most productive season across all competitions, scoring 12 times for Manchester United in 2011-12.

    Each of the former England international's past nine goals in the competition have either put his side ahead (seven) or drawn them level (two).

    They are vital interventions which have helped Brighton remain in the race for a lucrative European place.

    Boss Fabian Hurzeler hopes that Welbeck, who will turn 35 in November, will still continue to deliver at the top level.

    "I hope [he can carry on]," Hurzeler said. "He has to continue how he behaves at the moment.

    "He is very professional and I am convinced that he can carry on for a long time."

    We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Wolves and Brighton.

    Here are some of your comments:

    Wolves fans

    Rhys: Not a bad performance by Wolves. Thought we played all right but Brighton punished us for the mistakes we made. Matheus Cunha can leave now. He cost us a goal and he got booked. We just need to get these two games out of the way.

    Mike: We were unable to cope with Brighton's press and made lots of unforced errors. We lacked width, particularly on the right wing . Some key players showed insufficient commitment to keep the ball.

    Stefan: We lacked that killer punch. Strange game where we should have scored at least one goal, but could have conceded a couple more, particularly with defenders trying to play two-touch football to clear the ball instead of getting rid of it upfield. Still some promising stuff coming out of the squad with anticipation for a better outcome next season.

    Matthew: Awful performance after the first 15 minutes. Players already on the beach, clearly. Worst Cunha display in ages too.

    Brighton fans

    David: Excellent all-round team performance. Have we missed Joao Pedro? Past three game without him, seven points. Previous three with him, one point. Well done Danny Welbeck from the spot.

    Mick: For the second game running, I don't think we were the better team on the day, but we managed this game better. Some notable performances from Mats Wieffer, Pervis Estupinan and player of the year Jan Paul van Hecke. The manager won the tactical battle and individual players snuffed out the threat from Wolves' danger men. With Pedro back next week we have a chance of taking the final European place.

    Fran: Good team performance, with substitutions again made the difference. The players are starting to show what they can do even if it is coming to the end of the season so things looks good for the future. Just concentrate on the next two games and if we get Europe fine. If not, we have still had a good season.

    Sean: Now we have some defenders back fit, we are looking more solid at the back. It was great to keep a clean sheet. Some solid performances all over the pitch, I think eighth may be just out of reach with having to play Liverpool next, but if we can keep the core squad and manager, finishing in the top five could be a reality next season.

  9. 'We score with 11 and we defend with 11' - Verbruggen

    Bart Verbruggen praised Brighton's teamwork in their impressive victory over Wolves.

    The goalkeeper told BBC Radio Sussex: "It is massive for us. We know where we are in the table and what part of the season we are in so every point is important.

    "We are trying to force each other to start quick and stay on the front foot. I still think we can improve and do things better but at this stage it is just about getting points.

    "We score with 11 and we defend with 11 and that is a big strength of this team. If you see how much effort attacking players put into defending, reacting when we lose the ball and transitions, then it is a massive reason we kept a clean sheet.

    "We have to focus on ourselves and try to win every game. But first it is about winning in every training session."
