BRIGHTON, England (Reuters) - Brighton & Hove Albion ended fourth-tier Grimsby Town's dream run in the FA Cup with a 5-0 win on Sunday as 18-year-old Evan Ferguson's double guided the Premier League club into the semi-finals.
Brighton's suspended boss Roberto de Zerbi had a bird's eye view from the stands as his Seagulls dominated the game, with Brighton constantly pouring forward against a team 76 positions below them in the English football pyramid.
Six minutes after the break, however, Brighton doubled their lead through Ferguson when the lanky centre forward expertly controlled a high ball from Alexis Mac Allister before turning on the spot to fire home.
