Wish we could see the NS crowd for longer. Everyone in D block went berserk, for ages. Loved it how Connolly headed to the fans.

[Albion] Connolly's 2nd Goal

I've said for a while that he reminds me of a young Kevin Keegan.
Like Keegan's was from Scunthorpe, his approach play is adaptable and transmittable to a much higher level.
Connelly will be involved in as many build ups as he scores goals himself. A brilliant 'off the shoulder' second phase style of striker.
Best young Albion forward I can remember.
I know what you mean but I think we should have a bit more confidence in the ability of our players to forge a career for club and country, now.

I am going to watch this day and night for the next 2 years
Didn’t he score a goal like that for the u23’s recently?
It really was a wonderful goal. A completely joyous moment, one that will live with me for a long time.

Looks like a fantastic prospect. A mixture of Rooney and Owen. Going to be a great player for us (all the time we can keep him).

I was left open-mouthed for about two minutes after that. Stunning goal.

I bet that donkey Keane couldn't do a through ball like that. Mind you has contribution to Burnley's winner was mighty impressive...

Great debut. On par with Jake Robinson becoming Brighton's youngest ever goal scorer in the JPT cup.

Dunk's better IMO. How many defenders can make Kane look as small as he did today? This isn't getting carried away but Dunk's Englands best centre back. Dunk's passing was back to his best today which made him look the complete package for a top class defender. Dunk looked streets better than the Spurs defenders and he may well actually be. He has it all.
If he doesn't start getting caps, then I think it's fair to say he's being Matt Le Tessier'ayed .

A few extra things:
He would have scored the first as well if Maupay didn’t get there before him.
His touch that was saved before he scored off the rebound was brilliant. Just as good as the goal.
Tim Sherwood commented afterwards on his goal celebrations. It was very much like “get used to it - these are the first of many” rather than “this is it - I can’t believe it”.
