**Full-time: Newcastle 1-2 Brighton (aet)**

Brighton have a fifth win in a row and a place in the quarter-finals! Not to mention a real sight of silverware now.

### 112 mins:

Chances for Brighton! Welbeck seizes on Livramento’s slip and lays it back to Gomez whose low shot is brilliantly saved by Dubravka. From a second one, a corner is earned, which ends up being squandered as Hinshelwood blooters over.

### 106 mins:

City’s one strong game on the night, as Brighton break down the left through Willock who pulls it back for Tonali who spurns a chance to shoot but they come again. Tonali, again, then fires in a low cross from the light that spanks keeper then Willock in the face.

### 104 mins:

Tiredness oozing from plenty of pores now.

### 94 mins:

Belatedness from Brighton, March wriggles towards the byline on the right expertly, but his ball across the face of the area finds no one.

### 92 mins:

Evidence of tiredness already, as Guimareas tries to break through the middle and is tugged back clumsily by Gomez, who is booked.

### 90+7 mins:

Murphy plays a neat diagonal inside for Guimaraes but it’s just a fraction overhit.

### 90+6 mins:

Gruda forages into the box but tries to be a bit too elaborate when he could have shot. Newcastle break but Tonali is hacked down crudely.

### 90+5 mins:

Ooh that was so close. What an absolute ding-dong of emotions this past 10 minutes have been. Hard to work out who’s more upbeat now.

### 90+4 mins:

Another shot-blocking frenzy ends with Lamptey curving one over.

### 90+3 mins:

Solly March replaces him.

### 90+2 mins:

We’ll have six added minutes.

### 90+1 mins:

A long spell of Brighton possession ends with Welbeck attempting to juggle his way through just inside the area, skilfully, but it doesn’t fall for him and is crowded out.

### 90+0 mins:

Ooh that was so close. What an absolute ding-dong of emotions this past 10 minutes have been. Hard to work out who’s more upbeat now.

### 90 mins:

There’s a break in play for drinks, conflabs and treatment for Mitoma, who limps gingerly off. Solly March replaces him.

### 89 mins:

Another shot-blocking frenzy ends with Lamptey curving one over.

### 87 mins:

Van Hecke’s getting pelters from the crowd every time he touches the ball now, as Brighton build down the left and win a corner. From it, Hinshelwood and Mitoma both have fierce shots blocked. Do Newcastle play for pens from here, knackering themselves in the process?
