Two-goal Alexis Mac Allister admitted he might never score another goal like the one which was disallowed by VAR.
But he was celebrating as his penalty and free-kick helped Albion sweep aside Leicester 5-2.
Mac Allister crowned a memorable team display with a 25-yard free-kick having seen an earlier blast ruled out after a lengthy and forensic VAR check for offside, which was eventually given against Enock Mwepu.
The decision sparked outrage at the Amex but it fired the Seagulls up for a big finish.
Mac Allister said: “It was a bit annoying, of course.
“It was a goal that I don’t know if I am going to score it again in my life!
“It is football, VAR, and we must accept it which we did, and we kept going. That is the important thing.”
Mac Allister said hours of practice were behind his unerring free-kick to complete the afternoon.

He told BBC Radio Sussex: “We have been working on free-kicks during training.
“It has helped me know what we can improve, where we hit the ball, the speed, this type of things.”
