Steven, you were very much part of that on your Premier League debut.
How much did you enjoy it out there today?
It was an amazing feeling, obviously, getting an opportunity to start.
Obviously, the gaffer has a lot of faith in me and I feel like I've been on the team since pre-season, so it wasn't anything strange.
I felt comfortable.
Obviously, these are encouraging me all the time, so it felt good, yeah.
How did you find the step up today?
You were playing in League Two last season, weren't you?
Yeah, it was a good experience for me.
Obviously, playing men's football is very different to playing under-23s football.
And obviously, now it's time to kick on.
And yeah, I'm thankful for the opportunity.
Hopefully, I get many more games.
You seem to have quite a free role up there, particularly in the first half.
What did the head coach say to you?
What role did he ask you to play here today?
I was playing left wing back, but he told me to get as high as possible, stretch the play, told me to be confident when I was on the ball, 1v1, just take on the man, but obviously defensively be solid as well, and that's what I did.
Lewis, how much did we see today, this evening, how much Graham Potter is trying to change things at Brighton and what he's trying to do?
Last season was a bit of a fight to survive in the end, wasn't it?
What do you feel this season has in store for you, playing this way?
