Tariq Lamptey's unmatched performance against former club Chelsea last night earned him the man of the match accolade despite not starting at his natural right-back position.
The Seagulls put up a stupendous performance to edge the Blues by 2-1 to advance into the next round of the Emirates Cup last Saturday at the AMEX.
An early own goal awarded against Dutch goalie Bart Verbruggen gave Chelsea the lead but two subsequent goals in each half from Georginio Rutter and Japanese international Karou Mitoma handed the homesters the precious win to sail through.
Tariq Lamptey made the starting line up and really justified himself as to why he deserves more minutes and his outstanding performance saw him win the player of the match after full time.
The 24-year-old might looked very smallish in nature but signified how stronger he could be having emerged as the player with the most tackles and duels won and also with the most dribbles in the game.
Tariq Lamptey has three goals and two assists in all competitions and did these stats in just 14 matches and is looking forward to getting more from now till the end of the campaign.
He will definitely make coach Otto Addo's squad for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Madagascar next month should he continue with similar performances in their upcoming games.
