Graham Potter admits a last-gasp FA Cup exit was hard to take.

But he believes Albion will reflect on a decent performance when the disappointment of defeat eases.

The Seagulls went down to a single Kelechi Iheanacho goal in their fifth-round tie at Leicester City.

A much-changed side had seemed set to go to an extra 30 minutes until they were punished for unusually poor defending at a corner in added time.

Head coach Potter said: “We did a lot of things well but it’s hard to think about that because we are so disappointed to lose.

“I probably thought we were the better team over the 90 minutes.

“They had some really good substitutions but, even there, I thought we managed the game quite well. .

“At the moment the feeling is one of disappointment because we lost.

“But also I feel positive about the performance the group.

“It was a quite young team so I think we will be happy with that as time goes on.

“At the moment we are just a bit sore because of the last-kick-of-the game defeat.”
