West Ham United took some revenge for their recent league defeat at home to Brentford, with a 1-0 win away to their south London rivals in the Cup.

World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister scored twice as Brighton claimed a convincing 5-1 win away to Middlesbrough, with Pascal Gross, Adam Lallana and Deniz Undov also scoring.
