Roberto De Zerbi joked he will have to splash out on a Brighton season ticket after overseeing two stellar victories from the stands, including Saturday's 5-0 FA Cup win over Grimsby.
This latest triumph follows a 4-0 Premier League win over West Ham earlier this month when De Zerbi was also serving a touchline suspension. ‘
Two games, one 4-0 and another 5-0,’ De Zerbi said. ‘I'll have to pay for a season ticket for the last part of the season, no?’
After securing a spot in the FA Cup’s semi finals at Wembley Stadium thanks to yesterday’s win, De Zerbi said he cannot choose between winning this competition and Champions League qualification.
