Brighton forward Welbeck claimed his 100th career goal – and sixth in 16 appearances against his former club – in the 32nd minute and later headed against the crossbar.

Brighton built on last weekend’s 3-0 win at Everton to maintain their 100 per cent start under new head coach Fabian Hurzeler.

“It’s always difficult to describe emotions because they are massive, they are so positive,” said the 31-year-old German.

“That’s why I love to do this job because you can’t buy these emotions and you won’t get these emotions through anything else.”

Hurzeler also praised the influence of 33-year-old ex-England international Welbeck following his landmark goal.

“It’s an amazing achievement,” he said. “Danny’s a role model – I can learn also from him because he went through experiences I never made as a player.

“That’s why I share some talks with him. I share my opinions, he shares his opinions. He’s a great team-mate, he’s like a connector, he’s trying to help everyone.

“He’s paying attention a lot in the locker room and it is enjoyable to work with him and to have good conversations with him.”
