Brighton ended a seven-game winless streak by defeating Arsenal 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium on April 9 and a week later they were back in the English capital, where they picked up another three points thanks to Leandro Trossard's last minute winner at the Tootenham Hotspur Stadium.

The 19-year-old Offiah monitored with keen interest how the games unfolded and was ready to make his Premier League debut off the bench if called upon by manager Graham Potter.

"Yes, there was belief that Brighton could win the matches and they went out and performed incredibly," Offiah told allnigeriasoccer.com.

On the motivational talk Potter gave to the players before they stepped out onto the Emirates Stadium and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium pitches, he said : "He was just giving the players belief that they could win the game and to believe in themselves and their teammates that they were able to go and beat both teams and they did.

"Both stadiums are incredible and I have been lucky enough to play at the Emirates before.

"Your mentality has to be that you are always ready and prepare as if you might come to give yourself the best chance if you do get to play.

" It was a great team performance so I'd be struggling to pick out just one player who impressed the most in the two matches."
