SOLLY March has admitted he thought it was game over for Albion at Millwall in the FA Cup.

The sub overhit a free-kick right at the end of normal time in the quarter-final at the Den.

Millwall keeper David Martin misjudged it to send the tie into extra-time and the Seagulls eventually won on penalties.

March, pictured, said: “It was a fortunate goal. My first thought was that it was overhit and I thought, ‘that’s it, game over’, then I looked up and it was in the net.

“I didn’t know what happened at first. But you take a last-minute equaliser however they come and in the end we took into extra time, and probably should’ve won it then. But it was a tough game, they made it hard and to go through on penalties makes it more memorable.”

March, who also set up the first goal for Jurgen Locadia two minutes from the end of normal time and scored in the shootout, believes Albion are capable of making a game of it against Manchester City in the semi-finals at Wembley next month.

The winger said: “Watching the Swansea game, you saw how hard they made it for City and we’ve got to go there, work hard.

“We’re confident we can get a couple of chances, and if we can take them, then anything can happen.

“There will be a 50-50 crowd, it’s a big day out and everyone is going to be up for it. It’s something to look forward to at the start of April. Everyone will aim to have as many friends and family there as possible. It will be an exciting day and hopefully we can make it a memorable one.

“You saw from the picture of us celebrating (at Millwall) and it showed how much it means and how much we wanted to be there. We can’t wait.”
