Brighton's 2-goal Evan Ferguson: Reaching FA Cup semifinals in first season just unbelievable

Brighton striker Evan Ferguson was happy with his brace in their FA Cup quarterfinal win against Grimsby Town.

Ferguson struck twice in the 5-0 win at Falmer stadium.

He said, "It's what we were looking for. We obviously wanted to go to Wembley so we had to get to the semi-finals. It wasn't an easy game because you have to break down teams like that who sit off."

On his first goal Ferguson, said: "It was more an instinct, it just came to me and I tried to swivel around and get the best shot off. I was lucky it went in.

"It's been unbelievable, playing in my first season here. Credit to the lads, they've been good to me and have encouraged me when I've played."

On whether Brighton can continue making this season special, he added: "I think so. We've got the hope and the desire to get to Europe so that's our ambition and if we can keep on going and winning games we could get there."
