Mario Lemina scored the only goal of the game as Wolves beat Brighton to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals, where they will host Championship side Coventry City.

Brighton goalkeeper Jason Steele spilled a Jean-Ricner Bellegarde cross and Lemina slid in at the back post to finish at the second attempt after just two minutes.

Matt Doherty headed wide at the near post from Tommy Doyle's cross moments later as the home side began the game in the ascendency.

Danny Welbeck had a header off target before Steele of all people stabbed wide from a corner in the dying seconds, but Brighton were unable to find a goal as they exited the competition.

Wolves reached the FA Cup quarter-finals for the third time this century, previously doing so in 2002-03 and 2018-19, but it came at a cost.

Hwang Hee-chan went down injured after kicking the ball in the 54th minute, holding his hamstring and looking inconsolable which could prove to be a damaging injury for Gary O'Neil's side.

Lemina, who was tackled down the back of his Achilles by Pascal Gross just before half-time, went off a minute later seemingly still struggling from the effects of that challenge.
