  1. What a game.

    Millwall were 2-0 up and looked on course for the semi-finals of the FA Cup...

    But Brighton hit back through Jurgen Locadia in the 88th minute and then grabbed a 95th minute equaliser as David Martin made a calamitous error...

    The teams couldn't be separated in extra time and Brighton won it on a shootout.

    They'll play Manchester City in their first FA Cup semi-final since 1983.

  2. 'Martin was outstanding barring one moment'

    FT: Millwall 2-2 (4-5 on pens) Brighton

    Millwall manager Neil Harris, speaking to BBC One: "I thought the players were outstanding. What a performance for 94 minutes. I am a little more disappointed with the first goal. The second was an individual error. [Millwall goalkeeper] David Martin is one of the best pros I have come across. He is a great lad, so popular. He deserved his opportunity to come into the team last week. He was outstanding for the whole game baring one moment. That is football.

    "I am a big believer of whoever misses the first penalty wins the shootout. I wasn't confident. Shane Ferguson is our best penalty taker and wasn't on the pitch because of a moment of stupidity. The players put themselves forward so I have no problems with them missing at all.

    "I am frustrated. Missing the chance to lead the team in an FA Cup semi-final is a huge frustration for myself, staff, players and fans."

  6. 'We are up against one of the best sides in the country'

    FT: Millwall 2-2 (4-5 on pens) Brighton

    Brighton manager Chris Hughton on the semi-final draw: "All three other teams probably didn't want to play Man City but at the moment we are so pleased to go through and if we don't think we can win, then there is no point going into the tie. We are up against one of the best sides in the country, but on the day, we have a chance and we will have to have everything go our way."

  7. 'A proper cup tie'

    FT: Millwall 2-2 (4-5 on pens) Brighton

    BBC One

    Brighton manager Chris Hughton said: "I think that was what you call a proper cup tie. I didn't think we did well enough in the early part of the game. This is a very difficult place and they have history in this competition, but it's about character and we had a group of players that decided they desperately wanted to stay in this competition."

    On the equaliser: "As soon as Solly [March] played the ball in, we were disappointed because he over hit it but sometimes you need those moments. We probably didn't create enough of them but we had a bit of fortune to swing it our way.

    "We were confident in the penalty shootout, but when you miss the first one and they score, you think it may not be our day. But we showed enough with our remaining takers and I think we showed more over the 90 minutes."
