By defeating Manchester United, the Seagulls climbed to sixth place in the Premier League standings.
Alexis Mac Allister thinks Brighton is shown they have what it takes to get to Europe after their "unforgettable" 1-0 victory over Manchester United was won by his calm penalty.
The Seagulls moved up to sixth place in the Premier League standings, above of Tottenham and Aston Villa, as a result of Mac Allister's powerful goal with almost the final kick of Thursday's thrilling match.
Spurs, Villa, and fifth-placed Liverpool, who are only four points above them, all have two games on Roberto De Zerbi's loose-knit team.
Argentina midfielder Mac Allister believes that in order for Albion to qualify for Europe and cap off a spectacular season, they must concentrate on their own performance and results.
"We know that it's the end of the season, and these three points are very important," he said, according to the club website for Brighton.
"Because we feel great, the manner we are playing is incredibly essential. We'll work hard to achieve the highest possible finish.
"We must focus on ourselves and avoid considering the other teams. The goal has to be to compete for a berth in Europe if we continue to play the way we are.
After nine minutes of added time, World Cup winner Mac Allister maintained his composure to shoot from 12 yards into the top-left corner after Luke Shaw's puzzling handball was called for a penalty due to VAR intervention.
After Saturday's record-breaking 6-0 thrashing of Wolves, the 24-year-old's 11th club goal of the season sparked more joyous scenes inside the Amex Stadium.
It was very unique, he said. "It was an amazing win and something unforgettable for the team and the fans," the team said.
Brighton's dramatic victory partially atoned for their agonizing FA Cup semifinal loss to United in a penalty shootout 11 days prior.
