Millwall goalkeeper David Martin: I apologise to everyone

Millwall goalkeeper David Martin has apologised after their FA Cup quarterfinal defeat to Brighton.

The Lions were heading to Wembley until keeper Martin spilled Solly March's 95th minute free-kick into the net to make it 2-2.

The game went on to a penalty shootout, with Martin, 33, seen burying his head in his keeper gloves as if praying to the deity for Brighton players to miss from the spot.

But the visitors eventually won in the shootout prompting the "devastated" shot stopper to send an apologetic message to Lions fans on social media after the game.

He wrote: "Gutted about what happened today and want to apologise to everyone at Millwall, the fans were superb as always and created an unbelievable atmosphere at The Den.

"I'm so sorry I let you down and I will come back stronger."
