Quarter Final Results and Reaction

Brighton 3 - 2 Napoli
Scorers: W_Ndidi (33,88), J_Ward-Prowse (79)
In a game that ebbed and flowed, we found ourselves behind twice before Ndidi smashed home with just two minutes to spare to see us into the Semi Finals of the World Challenge Cup. Hojlund and Lukaku had twice given our visitors the lead, with Ndidi levelling in between, before James Ward Prowse got us level a second time and we looked to be headed for extra time. Ndidi had other ideas though as he nutmegged the Napoli goalkeeper to win the tie late on and take us to the next round.
I never expected to be here with Brighton as firstly I had hoped their permanent manager would still be here, but secondly when you compare the two teams here we are way off the pace of a side like Napoli. Thankfully we got the job done and we look forward to our next opponents!
