FA Cup fifth round draw: Chelsea are set to play Man Utd

Manchester City avoided becoming the latest top-flight side to stumble at the hands of League Two Newport County at Rodney Pardade thanks to a late flurry of goal.

The 4-1 scoreline is perhaps a tad harsh on the home side who defended very well, but second half goals from Leroy Sane, and Riyad Mahrez either side of Phil Foden's double was the difference.

Padraig made it 2-1 with just minutes of normal time remaining as Newport threatened to mount a late comeback, but Foden added his second before Mahrez completed the job in added time.

City will learn their opponents in the quarter-final draw on Monday night. Re-live the action below:

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.
