As a team, we were a bit disappointed with the first half. We didn't show as much energy and intensity as we like, but in the second half we really came out. We got the four goals.
"I think we have ended a really positive season in a positive way."
On playing more of an attacking role: "I knew I was going to play further forward during the first half and I tried to be as busy as I could. I'm always alive in the box - it's something that I've always liked to do in my game.
"Today I've got to give credit to the set piece coach, Jonas [Scheuermann], he gave me a specific role from the set-piece, two balls fell to my feet and I managed to put them into the back of the net. So all credit to him as well."
On not taking the penalty for his hat-trick: "I know what it's going to look like - like I didn't fancy it! I did put myself forward, I said that I was on a hat-trick and I was more than happy to take it, but Matt O'Riley said he was the taker and we still needed to win the game.
"At that point, winning the game for the team is more important. So as much as I would've liked to get my hat-trick, it was important we got the win."
On finishing eighth this season: "It's a really positive season. I know it's probably tough to take at the minute, and it is tough to take, because we wanted Europe and we fought hard for it.
"But I don't think we can have any regrets from these past five or six weeks. We left it all out there. We have a great family in the changing room and everyone worked their hardest.
"We just fell a little short but I think we can just use that for fuel next season. We have great foundations to build on now and I think next season is going to be a really exciting one for sure."

The key was to have better positioning, to be cleaner in our ing and touches, and to show the right reaction.
"We showed a great reaction and it was a well-deserved win."
On Jack Hinshelwood's goals: "I'm very happy for him because he is a player from the academy. He suffered a bit in the last little period, but he showed personality. He is great in training and he deserves the two goals. He never gives up. I'm really happy for him."
On missing out on securing European football for next season: "We did all that we could and we played a very good season. Overall, we accept the other results. We have to reflect on this season and then build on it next season."
On Diego Gomez's goal: "Everyone was happy for him. Diego came from a different culture and country. He is a great team player.
"I'm really happy with the team spirit this season."

In addition, only four sides have won more points in the Premier League in 2025 than the Seagulls' 34.
At 20 years and 44 days, Jack Hinshelwood is the second-youngest player to score in successive Premier League games for the club after Evan Ferguson in January 2023 (18 years and 76 days).
Image source, Getty ImagesIt went right down to the final day but the European places for next season are now finally confirmed.
Manchester City and Chelsea's wins saw them secure third and fourth respectively, while Newcastle took the fifth and final Champions League spot despite a final day loss to Everton.
Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest's defeats mean they miss out on the top five but will be heading on European adventures in the Europa and Conference Leagues respectively.
Chelsea's win means there will not be an additional spot for eighth place so Brighton's victory at Tottenham does not creep them into Europe.
So the curtain has come down on Brighton's season with a thumping win at Tottenham, but it was not enough to clinch European football for 2025-26.

I am not sure how much the Tottenham players will have left in their legs for this game after their Europa League win.
Especially because they are up against a Brighton team who have found a bit of form, are playing with freedom and are also looking to secure eighth place and possibly a European spot too.
That's why I am going for the Seagulls to win - but I don't think the Spurs fans will care too much about this result, and understandably so.
Sutton's prediction: 1-2
