Scott Lindsey’s Red Devils put up a brave fight and gave a fine account of themselves against a much-changed Seagulls side.

Goals from Simon Adingra and Jeremy Sarmiento put Brighton in charge, and they scored twice more in the space of two minutes through Adam Webster and Mark O’Mahony before Crawley substitute Jack Roles was shown a straight red card in the last minute. The match for the Seagulls was marred as Matt O’Riley’s injury as his evening lasted just 10 minutes as he limped off following a crunching tackle from the unpunished Jay Williams.

There were 13 Premier League teams that contested the second round stage. The remaining seven, who are competing in Europe, will enter in the third round.

The third round draw will be shown live on Sky Sports at around 10.15pm, following Nottingham Forest’s clash with Newcastle United at the City Ground.
