Mansfield Town boss Billy Dearden was overjoyed by his side's display in their surprise 2-1 FA Cup third round victory at Brighton & Hove Albion.
Goals from Matt Hamshaw and Ian Holmes sent the Stags through to round four and gave them a much-needed boost after a tough season struggling in League Two.
Dearden told The Chad: "We have done tremendously, we fully deserved to win. We didn't just snatch victory and in the end we could have scored more.
"We were the better side and played a lot of good football. They did not create that many chances.
"Now we have got to build on that and take it into the league performances.
"Perhaps this will help to encourage players to come to us as we look to strengthen the squad in the transfer window."
