Brighton and Hove Albion 2 Crystal Palace 1: Murray downs old club to earn fourth-round spot

Middlesbrough will host Brighton and Hove Albion in the fourth round of the FA Cup after Glenn Murray's late winner against Crystal Palace.

Glenn Murray scored a late winner against his old club as Brighton and Hove Albion knocked rivals Crystal Palace out of the FA Cup in Monday's FA Cup third-round tie.

Dale Stephens rifled Brighton ahead midway through the first half with his first goal since December 2016, collecting a pass from Ezequiel Schelotto and smashing past Wayne Hennessey at his near post.

After 69 minutes, Bakary Sako lashed a swerving 25-yard drive in off the post to level the contest - his fifth goal of the season taking him joint-top of Palace's scoring charts this season - but it was not enough.
