Leon Balogun has reacted to scoring his first Premier League goals for Brighton & Hove in the 3-1 win over Crystal Palace at the American Express Community Stadium on Tuesday night.
Three first-half goals from Glenn Murray, Balogun and Florin Andone sealed Seagulls victory against the Eagles.
The Super Eagles defender came in for Pascal Gross in the 28th minute due a red card was given to Shane Duffy forced Chris Hughton to shuffle his defence in the encounter.
The Nigeria international tweeted to celebrate his team performance at Amex Stadium.
OUTSTANDING team performance last night! Not easy being down to 10 men, but ur fantastic support from the stands made us compensate that!
