Former Premier League goalkeeper Shay Given spoke to BBC Match of the Day 2 about Karou Mitoma's performance against Nottingham Forest: "He was the star man today, for sure. He was absolutely brilliant. We always talk about the offensive side of his game, but he defends really well for the team.

"He can go inside, outside and he picks the right pass. Mitoma is at the heart of everything positive that Brighton were doing.

"They [the Nottingham Forest players] were taking turns trying to keep him out. It was a fantastic performance.

"I think they paid something like three million pounds for him. An absolute snip."
