According to Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler, South Coast fans can dream of performing at Wembley in the FA Cup.
The seagulls overcame Newcastle in St. James’ Park to book their place in the quarter -finals, with the kind approval of an extension of Danny Welbeck.
It was a lively affair in which both Tariq Lampty and Anthony Gordon were sent by chic.
But it was Brighton who had the journey to win, which means that they are now a game from Wembley.
After the game, he said: “It was a very emotional game. Many ups and downs. The key was that we stayed together, we remained calm, we tried to find solutions.
“They had a great chance to make the contribution, but then I thought we would control the game. The punishment was out of nowhere. We played with a lot of courage, we had some little chances and after we had granted ourselves, we showed a brilliant reaction.
“We concentrated on our solutions and remained mussels. In the second half we were very dominant. We suffered a little when we received the red card, but overall it was a great performance.
🗣️ “He is a great leader, a great role model and a great player.”

“We can only win something if we stay together and we have to concentrate on it. There is not much momentum in football, but we have to understand why it is at the moment. It is important to stay ground and to continue the basic things.
“You (fans) can dream and we can work.”
Goal scorer Welbeck won the winner when Brighton defeated the Premier League in the Premier League at the beginning of this season.
And his clever chip to win the game recalled his highlights, but the veteran striker was simply happy to get the winner.
He added: “It is nice to get here to St. James’ Park, such a special atmosphere. The fans made it an astonishing atmosphere – great to get the winner back.
“I have the feeling that we played well. We know when we meet Newcastle that it will be an intensive game. You have some dangerous players with a few great skills, and we have to do this together, and we did that today and have ahead.
“When you are on the bench, you have to analyze the game and see where you can make a difference, and today we did it. You see Joao Pedro at the end to run. He gave so much and I think that gave us the winner. “
