'An important win'
FT: Tottenham 3-1 Brighton
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham boss Antonio Conte, speaking to ITV4: "To win in an important competition like the FA Cup is so important, it is important for the confidence, important to get a win against a really good team.
"It was good, Kane scored twice. We had chances to improve the final result but in the end I think it was fair.
"In games when he [Harry Kane] didn't score he always plays for the team. He played a fantastic game for us, he is an important player for us because he is fantastic quality and to score is important because he is a No 9. It was good for Harry.
"We have to continue and now we prepare for a tough game against Southampton on Wednesday."
'No complaints'
FT: Tottenham 3-1 Brighton
Brighton & Hove Albion
Brighton boss Graham Potter, speaking to BBC Sport: "Our performance wasn't one of our better ones and I thought Tottenham were good.
"I have no complaints, we just weren't at our level. You can't give away three goals and expect to win the game.
"We wanted to go through but we have played a really good opponent with really good players."

'Conte has changed the mindset'
FT: Tottenham 3-1 Brighton
Tottenham Hotspur
Two-goal Harry Kane, speaking to ITV4: "Obviously we're delighted with the result. We played really well. We started on the front-foot and missed a bit of momentum in the second half but controlled the game after our third goal."
"I was delighted to see that go in [first goal]. I'm happy to be on the scoresheet. It was unbelievable by Sonny [for the second goal]. He has lots of pace and created a big chance and I'm just happy I was able to sneak it home. Everyone played really well. Let's keep it going.
"There is still a long way to go [this season]. We have plenty of games coming up in the league and cup."
On Antonio Conte: "He he has been brilliant. I cannot speak highly enough of him and he has really changed the mindset of the team. We have to keep working hard on and off the pitch."
'Spurs deserved their win'
FT: Tottenham 3-1 Brighton
Don Hutchison
Ex-Liverpool midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live
The scoreline could have been anything; 6-3, something like that. In the end, Spurs deserved their win; Harry Kane looked really sharp, Son was incredible. In the middle of the pitch, Hojbjerg and Winks were OK. As soon as Bentancur came on, he provided that little bit of quality. Yves Bissouma was Brighton's best player by a mile.
Post update
FT: Tottenham 3-1 Brighton
Well deserved win. Tottenham were the better team overall. Poor start by Brighton who came good at the start of the second half but conceded a third soon after scoring.
FULL-TIME
Tottenham 3-1 Brighton
Tottenham march into the fifth round. Brighton crash out.
Post update
Tottenham 3-1 Brighton
Glancing header by Danny Welbeck which forces Hugo Lloris to scramble across his line to keep out. Too little too late for Brighton.

Tottenham 3-1 Brighton
Corner to Brighton but it's over-cooked and ends in a throw-in to Spurs.

Tottenham 3-1 Brighton
Harry Kane is about 22 yards out. Is this the hat-trick? High and wide.

'Oh when the Spurs go marching in'.
Tottenham fans are in great voice in the closing stages.
Another chance but Sergio Reguilon is denied by Robert Sanchez.
YELLOW CARD
Tottenham 3-1 Brighton
Rodrigo Bentancur picks up his first booking in English football. I suspect it won't be his last. He's snapping at the ankles of Yves Bissouma and the referee doesn't like it.
Matt Doherty has come on for Emerson Royal.

Nicholas' right of reply. The two-goal cushion is back.

Steven Bergwijn threatens to bulldoze his way through the Seagulls defence.
Five minutes left plus stoppages for Harry Kane to get his hat-trick. Will he do it?
