Bournemouth 3 - 1 BrightonAnthony Knockaert’s crisp strike helped Brighton cruise past Bournemouth 3-1 and into the FA Cup fourth round for the ninth time in 10 seasons. Knockaert’s first goal in 12 games set Brighton en route to another fourth-round tie, with Bissouma bagging his maiden Seagulls strike and Andone his third of the campaign. Marc Pugh’s classy strike briefly had Bournemouth thinking of a second-half comeback, with the midfielder notching his first Cherries goal since August 2017. Three minutes later Brighton doubled their lead, with Bissouma lumping home an ugly, bouncing shot, that Boruc really should have saved. Brighton quickly severed any hopes of a Bournemouth comeback however, when Andone nodded in after a corner.
