Ivan Toney continued his amazing form with a double in the win over the Seagulls.
In Friday's win, Toney scored a brilliant backheel flick for the opener and then converted a penalty after being tripped by Veltman.
He has scored 55 goals in 100 games.
He is equal with Harry Kane on eight goals in the premier league.
Erling Haaland has more than anyone else.
Kane and Son Heung-min have both scored more goals in the premier league than Toney.
Adding to that, Toney has never missed a penalty in the premier league.
Is there any chance that a good penalty-taker will be in the World Cup squad?
The majority of Toney's career was in the Football League until he was promoted to the Championship.
He would make his international debut at any age level. He wasn't in the England squad for their recent games.
I think I'm the best player on the field. He said after the win that you have to have that mindset.
If it's enough to get on the plane to the World Cup, then so be it.
I can only do my job and hope it is enough. I would like to get some minutes at the World Cup.
Thomas Frank thinks he's getting closer to being with world-class strikers.
The way he can connect with the ball, left foot, right foot, the chip, he's so good technically, so if you want to create a top scorer then they need to be very good." He has that character about him, too.
He said that he would be in England's World Cup squad. He said that Ivan has something not many have.
It would be great if he got the first cap. It would be the first time in a long time that this club would be open.
If you want that flexibility for the squad, he is a perfect choice.

Toney scored 25 of his 26 penalties. When Adam Davies saved his kick, he was the only one to fail in the game.
He scored eight in the premier league. Two players have taken more than one spot-kick in the competition.
Toney admitted that he didn't know where he was going until he kicked the ball for the penalties. The keeper tried to give it the talk but I just walked away and thought of a beach with a cocktail.
Frank called Toney the best penalty-taker in the world less than four months after he joined the team.
Frank said he's glad he said it early. He's standing behind me. Cool, technique and strategy are what I see now.
It will cap a remarkable rise for a player who started off for Northampton in League Two before moving toNewcastle and making just two appearances in the top flight.
He joined Peterborough on a permanent deal after spending time with Wigan and Wigan.
Dion Dublin said that if the player doesn't listen or has the wrong attitude, he won't have a chance. Toney must have said to himself 'I need to take on board all this information'.
Dublin thinks that Toney could play for the Three Lions as well as go toQatar.
Bar Kane, Toney has done a better job than all of his competitors for a centre-forward slot.
Dublin said that he could start for England right now. He is finding ways of scoring that other people aren't. Give him the ball when you are in top shape.
England lost the Euro 2020 final on spot-kicks to Italy and only ever won one World Cup shootout.
Jamie Carragher, who missed in England's penalty shootout loss to Portugal in 2006 on Sky Sports, asked if his penalty record was a reason for him to go to the Middle East.
The record is amazing. He is going to take the penalty. All of it is in the eyes.
If England do well in the World Cup, they will need to win a penalty shoot out. Toney is a good player to have around.
There are not many strikers pushing Harry Kane. He needs a stronger reason than people he is fighting. The man has to leave.
Gary said that he was knocked out with five penalty shootouts.
It's a big risk to not have him there.
