Wout Weghorst admits Solly March regret after Manchester United's FA Cup win over Brighton

Striker Wout Weghorst has admitted that he felt slightly sorry for Brighton & Hove Albion winger Solly March after he missed a key penalty in Sunday's FA Cup semi-final defeat to Manchester United at Wembley.

After the game had finished goalless at the end of 120 minutes, the contest went to spot-kicks to determine a winner. Following 12 successful spot kicks between the two teams, March blazed his effort over, leaving Victor Lindelof with the chance to clinch the tie for United. The Swede successfully dispatched his effort, securing a 7-6 triumph for Erik ten Hag's side.

Prior to March blazing the ball over the top, Weghorst had successfully dispatched his penalty and United's sixth, putting the pressure back on Brighton. After scoring his penalty, the Dutch loanee picked up the ball, walked back towards the centre circle and then kissed it when handing it over to March.
