Brighton & Hove Albion earned an FA Cup semi-final date with Manchester City, following a great fightback in their quarter-final against Millwall on Sunday.
It is the first time since 1983 that Brighton have reached the FA Cup's last four. Watford will meet Wolverhampton Wanderers in the other semi-final. But at one stage, it seemed as though Brighton would suffer an upset by Championship strugglers Millwall, who were leading 2-0 through goals by Alex Pearce and Aiden O'Brien.
Juergen Locadia sparked Brighton's comeback by pulling a goal back in the 88th minute. Then, in the fifth minute of injury-time, Solly March's seemingly harmless free-kick left Millwall goalkeeper David Martin flapping at the ball before it went in the top corner to send the tie into extra-time.Millwall were reduced to 10 men a minute from the end of extra-time when likely penalty-taker Shane Ferguson was sent off for a petulant stamp on Lewis Dunk.
At the very end of extra-time, Brighton thought they had a winner, only for Martin Montoya, in a match without VAR, to be incorrectly flagged for offside as the tie headed to spot-kicks. The Seagulls prevailed 5-4 on penalties after sudden death.
