Brighton defender Dunk delighted with FA Cup win against Stoke

Brighton defender Lewis Dunk has a return to Wembley in his sights this season.

The centre-back was outstanding in his 400th game for the club on Tuesday night.

Dunk was man of the match in a 1-0 win over Stoke City in the FA Cup round of 16.

Post-game, Dunk said: “We're all buzzing to get through to the next round and be one game from Wembley. We knew it would be a tough game because Stoke are a good side but we got the job done.

“We've been at Wembley before and lost the semi-final to Manchester City [in 2019], so hopefully we can go one better. It was a great milestone tonight for me personally. I'm lucky to be at my home-town club and to have played 400 games. Hopefully I can play loads more."
