Adam Webster said he “tackled” the ball in for his third goal of the season.

The defenders second in the last three league games secured the points for his side at Watford.

It sparked euphoric scenes in the away section behind that goal at Vicarage Road.

Webster told BBC Radio Sussex: “I got lucky. My eyes lit up and I scuffed the first one. Then luckily it fell to me again.

“I don’t know how I got it in, I managed to tackle it in, I think! I’m pleased – I’ll take it.

Webster acknowledged Albion regained control of the game after Yves Bissouma and Alexis Mac Allister went on as subs.

He said: “Biss and Alexis came on and were brilliant for us, probably changed the game for us.

“The first 15 or 20 minutes of the second half was a tough period for us.

“They changed formation and they were always going to have a reaction because they probably weren’t in the game in the first half because we controlled it really well.

“We knew we had to dig in. It just shows the togetherness in the whole squad.”
