FA Cup semi-final draw: Man City to face Brighton at Wembley as Watford draw Wolves

1/32
Standard Sport17 March 2019

Brighton secured an FA Cup semi-final clash against Manchester City as the Seagulls beat Millwall in a penalty shoot-out to complete a remarkable comeback.

Millwall appeared on course for what would have been a routine and well-deserved victory as Alex Pearce's 70th-minute header and an Aiden O'Brien goal had them two goals ahead with two minutes left on the clock.

But Brighton's substitutes got them out of trouble, Jurgen Locadia halving the deficit with a fine strike before David Martin flapped badly at a last-gasp Solly March free-kick to draw the visitors level at 2-2 and send the tie into extra-time.

Shane Ferguson was sent off at the death for kicking out at Lewis Dunk - before Lions defender Jake Cooper missed the decisive penalty, firing high over the crossbar as Brighton won 5-4 on penalties.

The result means Brighton have reached the FA Cup semi-finals for only the second time in their history, with City now standing in their way of reaching the final for the first time since 1983.

The other semi-final will be contested between Watford and Wolves after Nuno Espirito Santo's men dumped Manchester United out of the FA Cup at Molineux on Saturday night.

Watford, who beat Crystal Palace at Vicarage Road earlier on Saturday, are in the last four for the first time since 2016, when they lost to Alan Pardew's Palace in the Wembley semis.
