The Seagulls started their sixth successive top-flight season with a historic 2-1 win at Manchester United.

It was the perfect way to begin the campaign given they ended the last one in ninth, the highest position in their entire history,

and came despite the loss of central midfielder Yves Bissouma to Tottenham and defender Marc Cucurella to Chelsea for a combined £87.5m.

But Potter gave no sense of that as he reflected on Brighton's first ever win at Old Trafford,
