Tariq Lamptey has earned a well-deserved spot in the BBC English Premier League Team of the Week following a stellar display for Brighton & Hove Albion in their thrilling 2-2 draw against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

The dynamic right-back made headlines with a stunning strike to open the scoring, showcasing his offensive prowess. However, it wasn’t just his goal that caught the eye—Lamptey also impressed with his defensive solidity, earning praise from pundit Troy Deeney.

“Scored a cracker at Leicester and he is a really strange player. You can see the potential and ability, but you are always hoping that he stays fit,” Deeney remarked, highlighting Lamptey’s immense talent and impact.

Lamptey joined an elite selection of players in the Team of the Week, which includes Aston Villa duo Emiliano Martinez and Ezri Konsa, Crystal Palace’s Maxence Lacroix and Will Hughes, Fulham’s Antonee Robinson, and Chelsea midfielders Enzo Fernandez and Cole Palmer.

The attacking lineup features Jarrod Bowen (West Ham), Jamie Vardy (Leicester), and Bryan Mbuemo (Brentford), completing an impressive squad for this round of Premier League action.
