After a difficult week, Shane Duffy produced a performance against Arsenal on Saturday that underscored his resurgence since returning to Brighton and demonstrated why Graham Potter has shown such faith in the centre-back.

Duffy, 29, endured a testing time after being allowed to join Celtic on loan last season and by his own admission, the defender feared his prospects didn’t look good when he returned to the Amex Stadium last May.
