SOLLY MARCH was inconsolable after missing a crucial penalty in a shoot-out defeat to Man Utd in the FA Cup semi-final.
Brighton and the Red Devils played out a 0-0 draw after extra time at Wembley.
Erik ten Hag's side had David De Gea to thank - who pulled off a number of good saves to keep the Seagulls at bay.
But he wasn't called upon when it came to penalties.
Both sides looked clinical when it came to spot-kicks - netting six a piece before March came to the fore.

However, the winger unfortunately miscued his effort over De Gea's crossbar.
Sweden defender Victor Lindelof stepped up to calmly sidefoot home as his team-mates rushed towards him to celebrate.
March, though, was understandably distraught.
When the cameras panned to him, he was in tears as team-mates consoled him.
Manager Roberto De Zerbi was seen with his arm around his player at the end of the game - offering words of encouragement.
The reaction on social media was also supportive of the unlucky March.
One fan wrote: "Solly March still Player of the Season by the way."
Another shared: "Feel bad for Solly March. Penalty shootouts are the worst, but at least you prefer them be won on a stopped shot, not a shot shanked high or wide.

A third commiserated: "Heartbreaking for Brighton and Solly March, the only one of 14 penalty takers to miss, United go through 7-6 in the shoot-out.
"The camp will rally around the long-serving winger. He's been fabulous this season."
