    We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's FA Cup game between Norwich City and Brighton.

    Here are some of your comments:

    Andy: Terrific second-half performance after a mixed first half. Yankuba Minteh and Carlos Baleba looked powerful and poised on the ball and the early signs are that both have the potential to do great things in the game. Solly March's rocket was the icing on the cake and indicative of his hunger to rediscover the superb form he was showing before another extended period on the sidelines. I really believe that with a bit of fortune, this is Brighton's best chance in years to lift the trophy.

    John: A very welcome result considering how our league performances have been recently.

    Nick: Good to finally get back to winning ways! After a scary first 20 minutes, we grew into the game and Minteh looked menacing throughout. It may just be me, but has Kaoru Mitoma lost his spark? Hopefully not. A good win capped off by a great Solly March goal!

    Chris: What could have been a difficult game turned into the perfect afternoon. A win, a clean sheet, Georginio Rutter back among the goals and a first of the season for Julio Enciso. However none of that can beat the sight of Solly March scoring after such a long time out injured - the reaction of the players and the fans tells you how much that meant to us all. Oh and shoutout to Shane Duffy, forever a Brighton legend.

    Prof: Oh the joys of winning again. Superb goals from Rutter and Enciso, with the cherry on the cake being Solly's goal. Norwich are a decent team so to have the chant "we want our ball back" when they were in possession added to the fun day out.

    Solly March spoke to BBC Radio Sussex after FA Cup victory against Norwich City: "It was a nice afternoon - to score to top off a win. Hopefully it will be more of the same to come.

    "The [recent] performances haven't been bad at all - the draws have been tough to turn into wins. It's tough to keep clean sheets. We've scored four goals so hopefully it can set us on a path"

    "It's more minutes in the legs. I'm probably a while off starting, but I want to contribute where I can. I feel good and hopefully I can build it up over the next weeks and months."

    Striker Georginio Rutter added: "I would say [it was a perfect game]. The team showed good character and we took the game seriously.

    "I scored so I'm happy, Solly scored so everyone is happy, and Ruairi [McConville] made his first appearance for Brighton so everyone is happy. A perfect day.

    "Solly is important for everyone. I didn't know him before, but when he returned to training everyone was happy. He has worked hard to come back."

    Fabian Hurzeler spoke to BBC Radio Sussex after Brighton's victory against Norwich: "I think we had some problems at the start, but afterwards we created a lot of chances and scored scored some nice goals. We defended quite well; Norwich only had one chance in the whole game so I am very happy with the performance without the ball.

    On Solly March: "I had some goosebumps when he scored the goal and when the supporters cheered his name. It was something special.
