Billy Gilmour was at the heart of Bright and Hove Albion's 3-1 win over Newcastle United this afternoon. Gilmour's form was rocketing towards the end of last season and all signs are pointing towards the Scotland international picking up where he left off.

The Seagulls were one goal to the good at the interval and Evan Ferguson's strike came from a close-range finish as the Newcastle keeper failed to hold Gilmour's venomous strike.

The 22-year-old then turned provider again for Ferguson to make it 2-0 as he managed to nudge the ball to the Irishman in the middle of the pitch before he unleashed his strike.

Fans and pundits were raving about how influential he was with former Chelsea and St Johnstone player Jody Morris tweeting that: "Billy Gilmour, best player on the pitch that first half." James Collins, former West Ham player, told BBC Radio 5 Live that the goal came from Gilmour's 'great strike'.
