And Colwill began to start celebrating until he realised he scored against his former loan club.
The centre-back then cut it short to pay his respect to the club where he broke through as a Premier League regular.
One fan said: “Colwill starting to celebrate then realising it was Brighton.”
Another added: “HAHAHHA COLWILL WANTED TO CELEBRATE THAT.”
One joked: Colwill wanted to celebrate then remembered “Oh it’s Brighton.”
Colwill made 22 appearances for Brighton and there was speculation he would make the move permanent.
But Mauricio Pochettino made it clear he wanted the England international in his squad when he joined in the summer.
Colwill did bid Seagulls fans an emotional goodbye when his loan spell came to an end.

He posted on Instagram: “To Brighton and Hove Albion. I am proud to have played a small part in the clubs success last season.
“You gave me an opportunity to play in the Premier League when no one else did.
“I thank Graham Potter for first bringing me to the club and to all the employees at the stadium and training ground for making it a great place to perform and develop.
“To the fans, you’ve always had my back! Since I got into the side, your continuous support made me feel comfortable to play the way I wanted to play and not fear about making mistakes.
“You gave me a platform to shine and show my ability in the best league of the world. I will never forget that you supported me.
“Lastly Roberto De Zerbi, you challenged me every day! You made me think and see football in a different way. I cannot thank you enough. Thank you again. LC.”
