Gus Poyet says that Will Buckley "is on fire" after the midfielder leads Brighton to a 1-0 win over Leicester City at the Amex Stadium.

Brighton & Hove Albion manager Gus Poyet paid tribute to Will Buckley's recent form after his side's 1-0 win over Leicester City at the Amex Stadium this afternoon.

Buckley was the Seagulls' match winner as he scored the game's solitary goal one minute from time.

The midfielder was also the Brighton hero as they caused an FA Cup upset at the expense of Premier League Newcastle United last week.

"No-one can touch Bucca at the moment because he is on fire," Poyet told the club's official website.

"He's always there and the balls are falling to him in the right places at the right times. He's creating the chances and he's scoring goals. When somebody is playing as well as Bucca they need to be playing 90 minutes."

The result means Brighton are now eight games unbeaten in all competitions.
