Brighton midfielder Will Buckley heaps praise upon the club's fans after his side beat Newcastle 1-0 in the latest FA Cup giant-killing.

Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Will Buckley has paid tribute to the club's fans following their shock 1-0 win over Newcastle in the FA Cup.

Buckley, 22, was named man of the match for his tireless performance, but was quick to point to the influence the supporters have played in Brighton's recent rise, as well as the way the club has warmed to their new stadium.

"I can't even hear myself think, it's just brilliant. It's just a joy to play here, they are like a 12th man," said the former Watford man.

"It was a hard game. They are a Premiership side and we were on the back foot most of the first half."

Manager Gus Poyet also hailed the Amex Stadium, telling ESPN: "It's incredible how many things have happened already at this stadium and we haven't played here for one year."

Brighton currently sit tenth in the Championship, four points off the play-off places.
