A brace from Elliot Webber and strikes from Harvey Barnes, Josh Eppiah, Kairo Mitchell and Admiral Muskwe secured victory for the Foxes, while Albion under-16 player Alex Cockerin was on target for the Seagulls.
*
Buckman told seagulls.co.uk, “Leicester are a good and strong side.
*
“It’s always going to be a tough fixture, but I felt that we started the game well and moved the ball quickly in the first 20 minutes.
*
“We created some chances and stuck to our game plan.
*
“We then conceded from a corner and it is always disappointing when you lose a goal from a set-piece.
*
“Then in a 10-minute spell we’ve had Danny Barker sent off for a professional foul as the last man and then conceded again, playing a straight pass that was intercepted.
*
“We’re a young side at the moment and we made some wrong decisions at vital times. Leicester are a strong side and unbeaten so far this season, so it was always going to be difficult after that.”
*
“There were four under-16 players involved. Although it’s difficult in terms of the game and the result, it’s a positive that the young players are getting those opportunities."

Buckman was also impressed with the quality shown for Cockerin’s goal late in the second half and said that his squad have shown a tremendous desire to bounce back when they host Arsenal on 5th September.
*
“Alex Cockerin scored after Reece Meekums did well on the right-hand side. He scored with a fine left-footed drive from the edge of the box.
*
“We’ve been back in training this week, spoken about the game and the lads are working very hard. I’m sure they will respond again.
*
“Arsenal are up next; that will be another great challenge for the boys and is a game we’ll look forward to.”

ALBION: Vose; Moore (Morrison 75), Barker, Boiling, Cox; Meyers, Sanders, Davies (Hutchinson 85); Ajiboye (Cockerin 55), Maguire-Drew, Meekums.SUB NOT USED: Sanchez (GK).
