Brighton squeezed past League One outfit Blackpool to take their place in fifth round of the FA Cup with a 2-1 victory on Saturday afternoon – and fans have been quick to react on social media.

Albion took the lead through a stunning first half strike from Yves Bissouma before Gary Madine brought the visitors level just before the break.

After the interval the Seagulls kicked on again, however, and Steven Alzate found the back of the net to win the tie for the home team.

Graham Potter’s men will face either Leicester City or Brentford in the next round of the competition.
