Graham Potter ponders unexpected Jason Steele decision as Robert Sanchez dilemma emerges

Goalkeeper Jason Steele made an assured Premier League debut for Brighton despite the 2-0 loss at Aston Villa

Brighton and Hove Albion boss Graham Potter has a key goalkeeping decision to make as they prepare for a crunch clash against Leeds United at the Amex Stadium this Saturday

Jason Steele, 31, produced a confident display on his Premier League debut during the 2-0 loss at Aston Villa last Saturday.

Steele was drafted in as Albion's regular No 1 goalkeeper Robert Sanchez served his one match suspension at Villa Park following his red card during the 1-1 draw against Newcastle just prior to the international break.

Steele made two fine first half saves to deny Villa's Matty Cash and Danny Ings and looked confident and assured with his distribution throughout.

The former Sunderland goalkeeper had no chance with either of the late goals from Ollie Watkins and Tyrone Mings and Steele will hope he did enough to keep his place for this Saturday's upcoming match against lowly Leeds.

Sanchez,23, will be available once more but the Spaniard may face a battle to return straight to the starting XI as his form was somewhat erratic in his last two games against Liverpool and Newcastle.

Steele, who captained Brighton in their Carabao Cup matches this season, has impressed Potter and the head coach was pleased with his display at Villa Park.
