Brighton striker Jurgen Locadia admits fluffing Man Utd header

Brighton striker Jurgen Locadia admitted frustration after their FA Cup defeat at Manchester United.

He forced Sergio Romero into a flying save in the second half, then headed over at the far post when well-placed from a Solly March cross.

Locadia told The Argus: "I wanted to head it diagonally, but I'm not good at headers. I need to practise, I don't like headers. I am better shooting than heading.

"Most of my goals in Holland were shots, not headers. He (Leo Ulloa) might have scored."
