It was a night to forget for Brighton fans as Albion went crashing out of the FA Cup against Wolves.

The hosts took the lead early on after Mario Lemina prodded home a loose ball after Jason Steele dropped a cross.

Despite this, Albion kept pushing and played some neat football throughout the match but were unable to threaten Jose Sa in goal.

Valentin Barco made his debut as a late substitute as Brighton continued to push for the equaliser.

The 19-year-old signed from Boca Juniors in January for a fee of $10 million.

Jason Steele could have been the hero of the match when he found himself in space after going up for a corner in the last seconds of the game.

The ball was headed down but Albion’s keeper shot wide. The game finished 1-0 to Wolves.

Wolves host Coventry City on March 16.
