Brighton Paraguayan midfielder Diego Gomez scored the goal with the furthest shot in the English Championship since 2017, Opta reported.
Brighton on Sunday defeated Crystal Palace 5-0 in the seventh round.
Gomez in the seventh minute of the meeting sent the ball into the goal from the middle of the field - from a distance of 51 m.
In November 2017, Wayne Rooney scored for Everton against West Ham from a distance of 58m.
Brighton coach Fabian Hürzeler noted after the match that Gomez tried to execute the same shot in the previous round with Sunderland on October 10 (2-0), but he was prevented by the wind.
Gomez's ball resembled one of David Beckham's most famous goals, the Associated Press notes. In the 1996/97 season, Beckham scored in a match between Manchester United and Wimbledon, scoring from midfield.
