WATCH: Bissouma pulls one back for Brighton

CH:And Tottenham have restored their two-goal lead just seconds after Brighton's goal! That was some awful defending from Brighton, allowing Heung-min Son to absolutely plunder through their black line before laying the ball for Harry Kane, who of course slots it away for a goal.It's Son who did all the hard work, but Kane was – as usual – at the right place at the right time.

GOAL! Tottenham 3-1 Brighton

Brighton have pulled one back! That had been coming. Tottenham looked nervous ever since the start of the second half despite their 2-0 lead, and Yves Bissouma took advantage of that to halve the deficit.There's a reason why 2-0 is the most dangerous lead in football!<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/news/explained-why-is-2-0-considered-the-most-dangerous-lead/zknmzxs7zc871wz5o668gxao5" target="_blank">READ: Explained: Why is 2-0 considered the most dangerous lead?</a>

Disaster for Cameroon - and delight for Burkina Faso!

So, with players like Romelu Lukaku up top, you can't accuse Chelsea of softballing this one - but then, Manchester United arguably named their strongest side against Middlesbrough and still came unstuck on Friday evening.But perhaps the most crucial face of all is missing for the Blues - head coach Thomas Tuchel. The German was confirmed to have tested postiive for Covid-19 this morning, and misses out.He faces a race to be ready to join the side in Abu Dhabi for the Club World Cup, which the squad fly out to after this game. Arno Michels takes charge in his absence, and we wish him a speedy recovery.

Thanks for joining us on an eventful day of FA Cup and European action – with a bit of Afcon thrown in – and we'll be back tomorrow with even more fun.On the agenda is Liverpool's fourth-round FA Cup clash against Cardiff, Barcelona's highly-anticipated La Liga match-up against Atletico Madrid, and of course the Afcon 2021 final between Senegal and Egypt, where Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah will face off to be crowned champions of Africa.'Til then!

We're into five minutes of stoppage time, as Brighton seek to score three goals to force this into extra-time.

Tottenham 3-1 Brighton

Oh dear! Steven Bergwijn misses an absolute sitter to wrap things up for Spurs. Just seven more minutes left of regular time.

What a chance! Tottenham have a brilliant opportunity to go 3-0 up, but Heung-min Son scruffs up his effort after a good cross from Harry Kane.

Tottenham 2-0 Brighton

Hugo Lloris has been forced to make a save for the first time tonight after a good bit of play from the Seagulls. The shot ended up being deflected by a Tottenham defender, but the away team look much closer to scoring now.

Brighton are probing now in this second half, with Moder taking a shot on goal – but it flies over the crossbar.

We've headed into the break, and Tottenham are firmly in the driving seat and comfortably two goals up. Brighton were showing signs of life towards the end of that first half, but they're going to need some more energy if they have any hope of progressing to the next round of this tournament.

Brighton's best chance of the game so far falls to Neal Maupay, who does great on the turn – but can't get the shot on target.

RED CARD: Inter 1-2 Milan

Olivier Giroud will be the hero of the Rossoneri tonight!The Frenchman has arrived to spare their blushes with an equaliser a quarter-hour out from full-time in the Derby della Madonnina!Brahim Diaz is the man with the shot, but his effort takes a few kind deflections to arrive at the striker who tucks it home. Inter look shattered by that.

GOAL: Inter 1-1 Milan

A three-goal first half certainly made for a sprightly time in the Bundesliga, didn't it?Champions Bayern Munich are back out now though, and looking to consolidate their advantage.Will RB Leipzig prove to be the thorn in the side once more?

Milan push for equaliser

The whistle goes for the break at Allianz Arena - and it is Bayern Munich who have wrestled back control of this absorbing Bundesliga tie.Robert Lewandowski's finish, just before the stroke of half-time, has seen him make amends for his part in chalking off a second for Thomas Muller, to ensure the champions have the lead at the interval.RB Leipzig are far from down and out of this contest though. This could be an intriguing tussle yet to come.

HT: Bayern 2-1 Leipzig

Now that one will stand!Robert Lewandowski makes up for his part in that earlier decision by emphatically ensuring Bayern Munich get a second just before the break, powering a header off Kingsley Coman's ball to finish.The hosts are on top once more with the interval looming.

GOAL: Bayern 2-1 Leipzig

Thomas Muller thinks he's got a second to put Bayern back in front - but after a lengthy VAR check, it is struck from the score!Robert Lewandowski is deemed to have committed the foul in the build-up that the officials pinpoint as their reason.Frustration for the Bavarian giants.

GOAL: Bayern 1-0 Leipzig

How on earth has Denzel Dumfries not buried that ball to put Inter on top?He volleys a close-range effort straight into the goalkeeper despite acres of space and can only shake his head as Milan ferry it away to safety.That was an absolute sitter, make no mistake.

Dumfries burns golden chance

There may be no goals at San Siro to speak of - so can Robert Lewandowski fill the order in the Bundesliga?We are underway at Allianz Arena, as Bayern Munich meet RB Leipzig in another crunch clash today.The former have their legendary Poland star chomping at the bit once again.

Cathedral of noise

A few minutes after the allotted time for kick-off - continental clocks, perhaps - today's headline clash is underway.It's the Derby della Madonnina - Inter versus Milan, in a crucial battle for the trajectory of the Serie A title race.What a blockbuster this should be!

KO: Inter v Milan

So, who has joined Manchester City, Chelsea, West Ham and the all-conquering Middlesbrough in the next round?Well, it's some of the usual suspects - and some unexpected ones too, perhaps. Everton have beaten Brentford and Norwich have edged Wolves in the two all-Premier League ties on display - but Southampton are off to extra-time against Coventry City.Crystal Palace have got the better of Hartlepool United though, Huddersfield Town have seen off Barnsley and Stoke City have swept aside Wigan Athletic.But it is Championship relegation favourites Peterborough United who arguably spring the shock of the day so far, seeing off play-off contenders Queens Park Rangers.

Guess who's back

Game over - Manchester City are almost certainly heading through to the fifth round of the FA Cup!The Premier League champions break superbly down the left flank, catching the lagging Fulham defence off guard and Kevin De Bruyne sweeps a lovely cross in for Riyad Mahrez.The playmaker tees up a lovely shot, but it is helped on its way by a huge deflection off the Cottagers as they rush back to cover in defence.

GOAL: Man City 4-1 Fulham

It may have not been the perfect ending again at AFCON for Riyad Mahrez - and he might take his frustration out with that penalty kick there!The Algeria international buries his strike in at the top-right side with enough force to take the net off.Manchester City are truly in control of this tie now.

GOAL: Man City 3-1 Fulham

Jack Grealish draws the foul and Manchester City get the penalty!A lazy Fulham pass as they try to clear their lines is picked off by the England man and he waltzes into the box. Joe Bryan hangs the leg out and down he goes.It looks like it will go without a spot-kick for a moment - Grealish does go down a lot after all - but this certainly looks above board for the hosts. Riyad Mahrez will take.

Penalty to Manchester City!

If the FA Cup isn't your thing - and really, how can it not be?! - then perhaps an update from The Continued Adventures of Jose Mourinho and Roma might interest you.They've come up with a draw against Genoa, despite an apparent injury-time winner.The Portuguese manager's face paints a picture.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">90+1' Nicolo Zaniolo scores a late winner for Roma 90+3' The goal is disallowed and Zaniolo is sent off <a href="https://t.co/kxHzBAl8kR">pic.twitter.com/kxHzBAl8kR</a>— GOAL (@goal) <a href="https://x.com/goal/status/1489994507668320257?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 5, 2022</a></blockquote>

Derby della Madonnina incoming

Let's see how the rest of today's FA Cup fourth round fixtures are shaping up so far then, shall we?It is business as usual for Crystal Palace, who are 2-0 up against lower-league Hartlepool United - but it is less straightforward for Southampton, who trail 1-0 against Convetry City.In our two all-Premier League ties, Everton are 1-0 up against Brentford, to get the Frank Lampard era off to a bang, while Wolves are down against Norwich by the same scoreline.Stoke City meanwhile are 1-0 up over Wigan, Huddersfield Town lead in a one-goal game with Barnsley and Peterborough United have got the measure of Queens Park Rangers by the same scoreline.

Around the grounds

The whistle goes at the Etihad Stadium - and it is Manchester City who are in the box seat of this FA Cup fourth round tie against Fulham.The Championship side launched an early scare through Fabio Carvalho's opener, but finishes for Ilkay Gundogan and John Stones have put Pep Guardiola's men back on top.There's plenty of life left in this one though. Stay with us for the second half.

Gundogan goes close for a second

After that bright start, there were certainly fears that a two-goal salvo from Manchester City could blow Fulham away.Not so far. It is the hosts who are on top but the Cottagers remain keenly in this contest.A third goal for Pep Guardiola's men might put it to bed though.

Cottagers keep their nose in the game

Are we in for a goalfest at the Etihad Stadium? GOAL's Jonathan Smith certainly thinks so, at least on the basis of the opening action as he observed earlier.

Goals galore!
