Brighton are into the FA Cup quarter-finals for the second-successive season after seeing off Derby County in the last-16.

First-half goals from Anthony Knockaert and Jurgen Locadia were enough for the Seagulls to secure their progression with Ashley Cole's late goal - a first-ever in the competition - proving to be just a consolation.

Here's how it all played out at the Amex Stadium:

Brighton 0-0 Derby

6 minutes

Derby have enjoyed plenty of possession in the early stages, although they've done little with it. They've settled well, though, and look untroubled at the back so far.

Brighton 0-0 Derby

7 minutes

Bissouma drives forward from midfield and makes his way into the box. He goes down under a challenge but the referee ignores his appeals for a penalty.

Brighton 0-0 Derby

12 minutes

Locadia goes down under a challenge from Malone on the edge of the box, but the referee appears to ignore the challenge. Derby's defender then picks the ball up, clearly assuming that he had been penalised, and a free kick is awarded.

Knockaert takes the set piece and draws the first save of the game from Roos, who tips the curling shot over.

Brighton 0-0 Derby

16 minutes

Brighton are putting the visitors under some pressure for the first time, penning them back in their own half. Jahanbakhsh puts a dangerous cross in from the right, which is headed out to Stephens on the edge of the box. His shot is blocked easily, though, and Derby clear.

Brighton 0-0 Derby

18 minutes

Derby have their first shot of the game, but it's not Nugent's finest effort. A long ball is played up to Waghorn, who knocks it back to the former Leicester striker. He drags his long range shot well wide of the far post.

Brighton 0-0 Derby

21 minutes

Derby defender Tomori is the first player to go into the book for a late challenge on Locadia. The forward has picked up a knock from the challenge, too, and there's a pause in play as he receives some treatment from the physio.

Brighton 0-0 Derby

23 minutes

Bissouma goes for goal from the free kick, hitting it low beneath the wall. He doesn't catch it well, though, and Roos stretches to his left to make the save.

Brighton 0-0 Derby

26 minutes

Huddlestone is robbed of the ball in midfield and Brighton break through Knockaert. The ball finds its way to Bissouma, who has time and space, but he slices a shot over the bar. It's another poor effort in a game of little quality so far.

Brighton 0-0 Derby

28 minutes

Wilson picks up a yellow card for a high foot, and the challenge brings about the day's first use of VAR. The officials wanted to check whether it might have been worthy of a red card, but Wilson escapes with just a booking.

Brighton 0-0 Derby

29 minutes

Knockaert, cutting in from the right, curls a shot towards the far post and brings a save from Roos, who parries the ball away. Brighton are in control of the game, but they haven't troubled Derby enough in the final third.
