Play by play

  1. Not a great game but that won't bother Brighton. They're through to the final 16 at Premier League Newcastle's expense

  2. 94'

    <b>Full-time: Brighton 1-0 Newcastle</b>

  3. 94'

    Though they choose to keep possession and avoid any potential danger...

  4. 93'

    Gutierrez fouls Barnes. Brighton free-kick in a dangerous position

  5. 92'

    Brighton now keeping possession, intent on running the clock down. Clearly the sensible thing to do.

  6. 91'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Mackail-Smith off, Hoskins on

  7. 90'

    With four minutes of added time to be played...

  8. 90'

    Ferguson wins a corner for Newcastle. Late chance for the Premier League side

  9. 89'

    Replays show it was a penalty. Bad luck there for Newcastle

  10. 88'

    Cabaye shoots but it's blocked! Newcastle appeal for handball but Lee Probert, the referee, ignores the call

  11. 88'

    Newcastle now countering throuugh Best

  12. 88'

    ...which Krul punches clear

  13. 88'

    The answer's no. Brighton cross and win a corner

  14. 87'

    Brighton free-kick deep into Newcastle's half. Good chance to cross, but will they instead look to waste time?

  15. 85'

    Ferguson's cross collected by Brezovan at the near post. Disappointing for Newcastle that nobody really attempted to reach the cross

  16. 84'

    Ben Arfa and Santon, in particular, can have no complaints. They've had plenty of possession but have done little with it

  17. 83'

    Pardew clearly not happy about the prospect of a cup exit

  18. 82'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Gosling, Taylor and Ferguson on, Guthrie, Santon and Ben Arfa off

    Gutierrez passes to Ameobi but the striker fails to control the ball. Brighton back in possession

  20. 82'

    Newcastle clear the corner. Tidily defended

  21. 81'

    A cup upset could be on the cards, then (as predicted at the start of this commentary)

  22. 81'

    Brighton corner. Good work by Harley

  23. 80'

    Brighton had a great opportunity there! Buckley had the chance to shoot but couldn't decide what to do before giving the ball away - too much time

  24. 79'

    Ameobi's header is saved comfortably by Brezovan

  25. 78'

    ...And another Newcastle corner...
