Mitoma headed the winner as the Seagulls grabbed a 1-0 success at home to Bournemouth. He has scored five goals in his last seven games and is taking the Prem by storm. Deniz Undav, who made his full Prem debut, saw Mitoma at close quarters last season when they were colleagues at Union St-Gilloise. But he admits the winger’s feats since coming to England have surpassed even his expectations.
Deniz Undav said: “It has surprised me, to be fair. He has made a big, big step. His one-versus-one is even better than it was in Belgium. He knows when to pass, when to go one-versus-one, and I think we can all agree he is doing an unbelievable job for the team and he is a difference maker. He scored again. He didn’t have his best game but he scored again. He is in a rhythm right now and I hope he continues this.”
Roberto De Zerbi said: “Mitoma didn’t play the best game of his life but he can always score. I can never substitute him because I felt during the game he could score.”
