Dunk is the only survivor from the last time Brighton got to Wembley semi... and skipper is ready to go oné better

LEWIS DUNK has only won a solitary England cap food for thought in the week he became the lone survivor as Brighton reached Wembley again.

The Seagulls captain is arguably a better player than some of those who have found favour in central defence under Three Lions coach Gareth Southgate.

But as Dunk helped stylish Albion book their FA Cup semi-final date with Manchester United next month - the first time the sides have met at Wembley since the final 40 years ago he warned Brighton were also chasing an unlikely Champions League spot next season.

First he wants a happier outcome than their previous FA Cup semi-final appearance, four years ago, when Chris Hughton's side lost 1-0 against Manchester City, who went on to thump Watford 6-0 in the final.
