00:00:00Everyone wants the win.

00:00:01Crazy gang of beating the Culture Club.

00:00:05Gerrard!

00:00:06Yes!

00:00:07Fantastic menu.

00:00:09That continues.

00:00:10What the hell?

00:00:11Back to the store.

00:00:13Steve Walsh, come on!

00:00:15Give it up!

00:00:17This is the moment of joy that all professional footballers hope for.

00:00:21I'm no matter what, for the first time, Crystal Palace are winners.

00:00:28Good evening.

00:00:29Highlights from the third round of the FA Cup.

00:00:32On Match of the Day tonight for Premier League and Championship clubs,

00:00:34this weekend marks the start of the long road to Wembley.

00:00:3822 ties to pack in.

00:00:40Luckily, nothing gets past Rob Green nor Dion Dublin.

00:00:44No team from the sixth tier has ever beaten top-flight opposition in the FA Cup,

00:00:48so a massive task facing non-league Macclesfield

00:00:50as they welcome cup holders Crystal Palace.

00:00:53Commentary from Stephen Warnock and Guy Mowbray.

00:00:56The biggest day in the all-new Macclesfield FC's short history.

00:01:01If they win, it would be the biggest shock in the FA Cup's rich history.

00:01:06Macclesfield's leading scorer, Danny Elliott, has again been ruled out,

00:01:09having missed their last two games,

00:01:11with his role once more being played by former Manchester United junior,

00:01:14Damani Mellor.

00:01:15For Palace, six changes from their goal at straw with Aston Villa on Wednesday,

00:01:19but still a strong side for the cup holders,

00:01:21with Chris Richards back from injury,

00:01:23and Mark Gahey, Adam Wharton, and Jeremy Pino all starting.

00:01:29Brilliant atmosphere.

00:01:30Super day for it.

00:01:33Let Macclesfield against Palace begin.

00:01:37That was quite a nasty flash of heads.

00:01:39Paul Dawson will not be worried taking a knock very early on.

00:01:42He's used to taking them and giving them quite a bit.

00:01:46Paul Dawson, incidentally, will have to leave the field,

00:01:48at least temporarily, with blood trickling from a cut.

00:01:52There's Rob Smethurst, the owner of Macclesfield FC,

00:01:55who was leading this club to ever greater heights, season upon season.

00:02:02The proper job's been done on Captain Dawson.

00:02:14And it flew towards goal like a rocket.

00:02:18Well, there's your warning sign from Macclesfield's point of view.

00:02:22That's what Uche can bring.

00:02:23But when he lets fly there,

00:02:25I don't think the keeper realises how close that is.

00:02:33Richards, a little too high for Rodney.

00:02:36Kay.

00:02:38Rodney's challenge is deemed unfair.

00:02:40It's going to be a free kick for Macclesfield.

00:02:42He's just coming to the game in the last few minutes, hasn't he?

00:02:45Kay, he's dangerous, he's quick.

00:02:47He's direct in the way that he plays.

00:02:49Draws the foul here for him.

00:02:50Rodney does well with his feet to get across.

00:02:54There's some more running repairs needed for Paul Dawson.

00:02:58It's a particular look, isn't it?

00:03:02Now Duffy puts it in.

00:03:03And that doesn't look a bad ball.

00:03:05It's a great ball.

00:03:06It's a wonderful goal.

00:03:10Captain Dawson hits the seventh minute front.

00:03:19Perfect for the Roleague team.

00:03:21Just perfect.

00:03:23This time, it's Luke Duffy to spin it in with his right foot.

00:03:28And this time he's not looking to hit that near post.

00:03:31He's just looking to hang it up

00:03:33and give his opportunity to the big players at the back post.

00:03:38It's absolutely brilliant.

00:03:40To mobile Macclesfield fans will never forget.

00:03:45Rob Smithhurst, almost in tears.

00:03:51Oliver Klasner now starting to look a little agitated.

00:03:54The first Austrian coach to win the greatest cup competition in the world.

00:04:01Won his home nation's cup twice as a player with SV Reid.

00:04:07Buckley Ricketts.

00:04:08There's Mellor who goes down.

00:04:10Richard's challenging.

00:04:11Buckley Ricketts comes out of the pot with the ball.

00:04:14Palace just can't get it away.

00:04:16Buckley Ricketts didn't get it out.

00:04:18But he did.

00:04:18Yes, he did.

00:04:20He's touched it across the knees and it's two for Macclesfield.

00:04:29Now we're really in the realms of FA Cup fantasy.

00:04:36Buckley Ricketts keeps trying to get through.

00:04:39He's like a battering ramp.

00:04:41He finds himself on that far side.

00:04:42And as this shot comes in, look how he readjusts.

00:04:45He just readjusts.

00:04:47Stabs it towards goal.

00:04:49And the goalkeeper, Walter Benitez, is almost wrong-footed.

00:04:52He's going the other way.

00:04:57That's Oliver Glasner's reaction.

00:04:59What to do?

00:05:00What to do?

00:05:03I don't know Mark Bright and Steve Parrish are particularly impressed with anything much that they've seen so far today.

00:05:13There is still time for Palace to change the whole story.

00:05:17Here's Uche.

00:05:19Uche across the face.

00:05:21He didn't miss by a lot.

00:05:22But he did miss.

00:05:24You say it can change in an instance.

00:05:26It nearly did.

00:05:27And it's just because Uche gets half a yard and Heathcote doesn't want to go too close to him

00:05:31because he's worried about him skipping beyond him.

00:05:35Look at the Crystal Palace fans.

00:05:37They set off at four this morning.

00:05:39Goodness me.

00:05:45It's Mitchell.

00:05:47Meneasic.

00:05:48It's not away yet.

00:05:51And that's Walter.

00:05:52No good save.

00:05:54Thundered towards Durnley's goal.

00:05:57Durnley's been relatively quiet throughout this game when called upon here.

00:06:02He makes a really good stop.

00:06:04Wonder what big brother thinks.

00:06:06Oh, he'll be happy.

00:06:07He'll be absolutely delighted, won't he?

00:06:09Very proud, I'm sure.

00:06:12Marcus Field have had to deal with that tragic setback losing Ethan McLeod.

00:06:16But what a performance they're putting on in his memory.

00:06:22And that's going to be a free kick for Palace.

00:06:28Mellor was just beaten to it by Mark Gahey.

00:06:35So, Sorrell Johnson.

00:06:37It's going to be Brendan Johnson.

00:06:38And he's done it.

00:06:39He's called in a beauty.

00:06:41Oh, it's Pino.

00:06:42It's Jeremy Pino who took it.

00:06:44My mistake.

00:06:45Yeah, he had to get it up and over that wall.

00:06:47It's a quite brilliant free kick from Pino.

00:06:49And you just get that sense now around the stadium.

00:06:53Don't worry that things could possibly turn and turn very quickly.

00:06:58Now all of the Macclesfield fans are holding their breaths after all this work.

00:07:03Palace have still got fight in them.

00:07:06That's Gahey.

00:07:08There's Casey.

00:07:10Now Johnson.

00:07:11Johnson's ball in.

00:07:13Looks a good one.

00:07:14Matheson's ready for it.

00:07:15This is Warton.

00:07:16And it hits the roof of the stands.

00:07:19And now we are in the sixth minute of added time.

00:07:23The board said six.

00:07:28Sosa.

00:07:31Headed away from Uche.

00:07:35It's a missed kick.

00:07:37But now Dawson will have the last kick.

00:07:39And how fitting is that?

00:07:44Macclesfield.

00:07:45And National League North.

00:07:48And knocked out Premier League Crystal Palace.

00:07:51The FA Cup holders.

00:07:54It is the biggest shock that the world's greatest cup competition has ever seen.

00:08:04No, you know, we spoke earlier and we spoke about hope and having a chance and, but I never, I

00:08:09never really believed it.

00:08:10That was just me hoping, but, wow, the boys were absolutely outstanding and the way the performance they put on,

00:08:17wow, you know, we can give them a little bit on the side and help them in that sense.

00:08:19But they've got to cross that, but they're not going to be any prouder.

00:08:23Yeah, disappointed, embarrassed.

00:08:27I've been involved in many games as a player and as a manager.

00:08:29I think this is one of the worst I've seen.

00:08:36Yeah, so congratulations to Macclesfield for the win.

00:08:40And I do whatever I can, week in, week out, you've got to give 110% and that's what every

00:08:45one of the lads did tonight, today.

00:08:47So, yeah, I'm proud.

00:08:50The lads were class.

00:08:52He was magnificent.

00:08:53They were absolutely brilliant.

00:08:56Dion, good evening.

00:08:57Good evening, Rob.

00:08:57I mean, this is what the Cup is all about.

00:08:59Yeah, they're incredible scenes and what a time for a club that, they didn't have a club six years ago

00:09:04and then after the recent weeks of death of Ethan McLeod, one of their players to bring everybody together is

00:09:10just wonderful.

00:09:12Paul Dawson, Dion, what an afternoon.

00:09:14Yeah, I mean, there wasn't a blade of grass that he didn't cover.

00:09:18He was a leader.

00:09:20I'll show you exactly what he did because we've got this run of him heading it, kicking it, tackles, everything

00:09:29that you want your captain to do as a leader and as somebody that's going to show you how to

00:09:35compete in a FA Cup game.

00:09:38First challenge, Crystal Palace.

00:09:40This is what it's all about.

00:09:41This is what it's all about.

00:09:43I'm the captain.

00:09:44Clash of heads.

00:09:45He cuts his head and there's a bit of a melee there.

00:09:48But I just believe that he set the tone and he put into the Crystal Palace players' heads, it's going

00:09:54to be a hard day for you today.

00:09:56We know exactly how to play against you.

00:09:58He was the leader.

00:09:59He was getting crosses in.

00:10:00He was out on the left wing.

00:10:02He was playing in the middle of the park as well.

00:10:04This is a great clip here where he's just really tenacious and he holds on to the ball and then

00:10:11he calms down because he's under a bit of pressure and he keeps the ball nice and simple and then

00:10:16his team get on the front foot again.

00:10:17Yeah, and he was just so composed at times.

00:10:20He knew where to be, when to be, when to put his body on the line.

00:10:24He's just saying that bit there is just wonderful.

00:10:26And then the opportunity to just calm down.

00:10:28And here, Dion touched on it, big cambo in a 1v1 in the first moments.

00:10:33Here, same player, got the muscle memory, got his one-up on his opponent.

00:10:37And it is a wonderful header and brilliant, brilliant celebration.

00:10:43I mean, absolutely fantastic.

00:10:45Well done, Macclesfield.

00:10:46And a day that will live long in the memory of the players, but also the fans as well.

00:10:50Absolutely fantastic.

00:10:50Well done, Paul Dawson.

00:10:52But Macclesfield stopped Palace, didn't they, in every part of the ground?

00:10:55Yeah, and he just touched on what Paul Dawson did, but epitomising the whole team as well and how they

00:11:00cut the lines off to Crystal Palace, slowed them down.

00:11:03Made them look ordinary, really ordinary at times.

00:11:07And it was such a well-disciplined and well-executed performance.

00:11:10And the manager touched on it before the game and after the game, said, we want to play a 4

00:11:14-5-1.

00:11:15We want to cut the lines off into someone like Jeremy Pino.

00:11:18And it's just these lines that it made it look so pedestrian on the ball from Crystal Palace that they

00:11:25knew when to go as well.

00:11:26They went to go in numbers that they're saying, right, OK, this is the opportunity that we've got to go

00:11:30high.

00:11:31It's not just those two.

00:11:32You can see there are three, four other players around them forcing the error.

00:11:36And, Dion, they did this for the whole 90 minutes as well.

00:11:38Yeah, we know how good Warton can be.

00:11:41And he was forced to make mistake after mistake.

00:11:44Just through not one blue shirt going, but three and four, there will be a trigger.

00:11:48The trigger goes.

00:11:50And then they went in behind the trigger.

00:11:52It happened for the whole of the game.

00:11:54And it worked.

00:11:55I mean, the way that they hold the line, Crystal Palace players were offside.

00:12:00Five or six times today.

00:12:02They just couldn't get themselves in because the two centre-halves were talking.

00:12:06The two full-bats were talking a lot.

00:12:08Again, the ball goes back five yards.

00:12:10Watch this one.

00:12:10Five yards.

00:12:11And the back five are up on the 18-yard line, making it really difficult.

00:12:16No space to play in whatsoever.

00:12:18And they're offside.

00:12:20And when you do that and you get those offside decisions, it's because that man there has

00:12:25worked on it in training.

00:12:27And I'm so pleased for John Rooney.

00:12:29Yeah.

00:12:29Look at that smile.

00:12:30Fantastic.

00:12:30In our big screen tonight.

00:12:32Lovely stuff.

00:12:32And, Dion, how incredible that the last time we saw Crystal Palace in the FA Cup was in

00:12:37the final when they beat Manchester City.

00:12:39Who would have thought, here we are in studio, and we're talking about Palace being humbled

00:12:43by Macclesfield.

00:12:44Well, they were humbled by the better team today.

00:12:46In every aspect.

00:12:48The work rate.

00:12:50A full house.

00:12:52You know, their biggest crowd, I think.

00:12:54And I just believe, you might not be as good as these Premier League players, but if you

00:12:58give everything and you're organised, look what might happen.

00:13:02Absolutely right.

00:13:03Well done, Macclesfield.

00:13:03Well, right next to the all-Premier League time between Newcastle United and Bournemouth,

00:13:07commentary from Darren Ambrose and Dan Mason.

00:13:12Seven changes today for the Magpies, with Ciarán Trippier returning and rare starts for

00:13:18Joe Willock and Jacob Ramsey.

00:13:20But this is far from a weakened team.

00:13:22Eddie Howe starting both Nick Voltemada and Johan Wissler.

00:13:27Six changes for Bournemouth, who have not only lost Antoine Semenyo to City, but also Justin

00:13:32Cliver to injury.

00:13:34I mean, Adley gets the job of replacing Semenyo on the wing.

00:13:38Well, and he now starts his first Cherries game in over a year.

00:13:47That's the best pass from Ramsey.

00:13:49But Newcastle have won it back here.

00:13:52Willock.

00:13:54Ramsey to his right.

00:13:55Here he is.

00:13:57Barnes with a flick.

00:13:58It's Nick Voltemada.

00:14:00It's Johan Wissler.

00:14:01What a save from Georgi Petrovic.

00:14:04He's had his critics, Petrovic, but not now.

00:14:07It's a good play from Newcastle.

00:14:08He finds its way to Nick Voltemada.

00:14:10I thought he was going to shoot first time.

00:14:12Lays it to his striker.

00:14:13Wonderful save.

00:14:17In all competitions, Bournemouth have managed only one away win this season.

00:14:22That was at Tottenham in August.

00:14:25Now it's Harvey Barnes.

00:14:27He scores for Newcastle, who at last had the lead here.

00:14:31Five minutes gone in the second half.

00:14:34What a pass.

00:14:35Voltemada outside of his boot.

00:14:37Round the defence.

00:14:38Slots it home.

00:14:39Harvey Barnes, man in the hour.

00:14:41Brilliant.

00:14:411-0.

00:14:44Early goal in the second half will do wonders for Newcastle and the Magpies faithful, but

00:14:52they've given it to Evan Nilsson.

00:14:54And Ramsdale prevents an almost instant equaliser.

00:14:57It's their own mistake.

00:14:59Newcastle gives it away.

00:15:01Livermento got it all wrong.

00:15:03So did Evan Nilsson.

00:15:05Needs to score for me.

00:15:13Tenali.

00:15:14Second goal might be the best bet for the Magpies.

00:15:18Almost got one there.

00:15:21A real mix-up at the back for Bournemouth.

00:15:28Wall's delivery.

00:15:29It's deep.

00:15:30Oh, fantastic header from Botman.

00:15:32Off the frame of the goal.

00:15:34Four-inch below that would have been another goal.

00:15:44Charles flying header.

00:15:46Evan Nilsson under it for Bournemouth.

00:15:50Brooks.

00:15:52It's Evan Nilsson.

00:15:53And it's tapped in by Alex Scott.

00:15:57Bournemouth level.

00:15:59They have responded brilliantly since falling behind.

00:16:03And Alex Scott gets a well-deserved equaliser for the Cherries.

00:16:08The response from Evan Nilsson as well, by the way, since his missed chance creating everything

00:16:13for Bournemouth.

00:16:14Hits it towards the back post.

00:16:16Alex Scott arriving perfectly.

00:16:21Solaire for Bournemouth.

00:16:24The pass that was to Brooks.

00:16:26And suddenly Bournemouth are in here.

00:16:28Look how short Newcastle are at the back.

00:16:31And that was a vital intersection by Botman.

00:16:35Brooks.

00:16:35Oh, fantastic goal.

00:16:38Bournemouth have turned it around.

00:16:40David Brooks, the goal scorer.

00:16:43And what a goal.

00:16:44From one end to the other.

00:16:46As you said, it's a great pass for David Brooks who drove through.

00:16:50I thought he'd overdone it.

00:16:51I thought he picked the wrong option, which he did initially.

00:16:53But as soon as he gets it on his right foot, there's a player open on the right-hand side.

00:16:58One thought in his mind.

00:16:59What a turnaround.

00:17:04Will they get one last chance, Newcastle?

00:17:09Gordon.

00:17:15Well, it might fall for Tanali.

00:17:17He's in.

00:17:17He goes down.

00:17:19And what's the referee going to say?

00:17:21He points to the spot.

00:17:23And Newcastle have a chance to save themselves.

00:17:27He's in a key tape with a slip.

00:17:29Losing his foot.

00:17:31He's trailing right leg.

00:17:34Connects with Tanali.

00:17:37All the pressure is on Anthony Gordon.

00:17:42He scores!

00:17:44And Newcastle United have once again given us a dramatic late finish.

00:17:50And this third round tie is looking like heading into extra time.

00:17:59The pass intercepted.

00:18:01Rather telegraphed that one.

00:18:05Alex Scott.

00:18:06That's a very good pass.

00:18:08It's Jimenez in for Bournemouth.

00:18:10Great save by Ramsdale.

00:18:12Potentially a match winning save.

00:18:14He just never looked comfortable.

00:18:16He just never looked comfortable.

00:18:17Hermenez when he ran through.

00:18:24Galinton.

00:18:32And Newcastle United have won it right at the death.

00:18:37Harvey Barnes has done it again.

00:18:40It's a lovely delivery Anthony Gordon.

00:18:43Harvey Barnes rises the highest.

00:18:46Petrovic stood no chance.

00:18:50Alex Jimenez.

00:18:54Marcus Tavernier.

00:18:56Here's a chance.

00:18:57Oh, they've levelled it.

00:18:59Marcus Tavernier draws Bournemouth level just when they look like they were cooked.

00:19:05It's unbelievable.

00:19:06It's just confusion.

00:19:07Sven Botman.

00:19:08Aaron Ramsdale.

00:19:10Malik Chow.

00:19:10One of you has to clear that.

00:19:12They're delighted on the sidelines.

00:19:15Wow.

00:19:18Here's finale.

00:19:21Barnes.

00:19:22Good ball.

00:19:23Oh, Gordon missed it.

00:19:24This is quite incredible.

00:19:27Adam Smith prevents a late, late winner from Newcastle United.

00:19:31And we are going to go into a penalty shootout.

00:19:37Nick Voltemada is the next man up for the Magpies.

00:19:43Oh, it's against the crossbar.

00:19:46And it's advantage Bournemouth.

00:19:48Plenty of power.

00:19:49Not quite the right amount of accuracy.

00:19:54Evan Nielsen for Bournemouth.

00:19:56To give them the lead in the shootout after two kicks.

00:20:04Saved by Ramsdale, who guessed correctly.

00:20:08And this game keeps us guessing.

00:20:13Bruno Gimaraes, the latest to place the ball for Newcastle.

00:20:19Saved by Petrovic this time.

00:20:22The goalkeeper stood his ground.

00:20:24And Gimaraes, rather embarrassed by that effort.

00:20:29Can Aaron Ramsdale come to the rescue again?

00:20:34It's Cook.

00:20:35Oh, he almost got there, the goalkeeper.

00:20:37But a cheeky one from Lewis Cook.

00:20:47Tonali.

00:20:47Another short run up.

00:20:48And he finds the corner.

00:20:51And the level at 2-2.

00:20:52But Bournemouth still with the advantage.

00:20:55Alex Jimenez.

00:20:56He looks calm.

00:20:59He looks composed.

00:21:00But it's saved by Ramsdale.

00:21:04Bournemouth spurning another chance to take it away from their hosts.

00:21:10Into sudden death.

00:21:12Malik Chow now.

00:21:15How will he get on?

00:21:16Short run up.

00:21:17Simple finish.

00:21:19Got the job done.

00:21:20So, it's all good.

00:21:23The Foddy Diakite.

00:21:26Summer signing from Lille.

00:21:29It's saved by Ramsdale.

00:21:31And Newcastle have won it.

00:21:33Ramsdale, the undisputed hero, in the shootout.

00:21:38An absorbing and exhilarating FA Cup third round tie.

00:21:43It was a classic FA Cup tie.

00:21:46I think extra time, probably the last thing both managed.

00:21:48as wanted.

00:21:49Especially with our game on Tuesday for us.

00:21:51But the priority was to try and get through.

00:21:54And thankfully we've done it.

00:21:55The extra time was about who had more energy.

00:21:58Who could use better, probably the subs.

00:22:02And no complaints.

00:22:05I'm very proud of how we played.

00:22:07About my players.

00:22:08But it's true that I wanted to win the next round.

00:22:11Anyhow, absolutely bang on, Dionne.

00:22:13Classic Cup tie.

00:22:14And if you're looking for top players, look no further than Harvey Barnes.

00:22:18Yeah, again, just a very positive performance.

00:22:22And I think he's getting better with age.

00:22:25I think he's knowing the game.

00:22:26He's knowing his position even better.

00:22:28Then knowing how to use him as well.

00:22:31What I like about Harvey Barnes is he always finds the right position at the right time.

00:22:36Gets himself there.

00:22:37Nice little flick.

00:22:38They create a chance out of this.

00:22:40They don't score.

00:22:41But he finds a different position because he wasn't getting involved.

00:22:44And when he's wide, he always tries to go direct at his defender.

00:22:49So he can create something behind.

00:22:51This on here is a little layoff.

00:22:53And he's gone again.

00:22:54Yeah.

00:22:54Always trying to get in behind.

00:22:56And what a ball.

00:22:57What a ball for Valtimata that is, by the way.

00:23:00And a really good accomplished finish.

00:23:02Yeah, he's sometimes been accused in the past of sort of drifting away from the game.

00:23:06But there was none of that today.

00:23:08And then after about 70 minutes, his mate came on, Anthony Gordon, on the other wing.

00:23:12And they just were unplayable at times with the pace, the directness, the speed between them.

00:23:18And their willingness to go.

00:23:19And what I was really impressed with is how he found these positions like this.

00:23:23He turns into Prime Shearer all of a sudden.

00:23:25He's looking and saying, get beyond the end man and then attack him.

00:23:29He'd be delighted with that.

00:23:30And it's a fantastic ball across to win it.

00:23:33And Anthony Gordon fluffs his lines.

00:23:34And it's just something that he was unstoppable today in how he played.

00:23:39But, you know, he's got 11 in all comps now.

00:23:42Harvey Barnes, he needs to do more of that.

00:23:43And he needs to do that more often.

00:23:45Consistent.

00:23:45Consistently for season after season for Newcastle.

00:23:47Yeah, great numbers.

00:23:48Absolutely right, Dion.

00:23:49Rob, we'll talk about Bournemouth in just a moment.

00:23:51I just want to look at Newcastle's fixtures because they've got a tough run of games, haven't they?

00:23:54They've got a tough run of games.

00:23:55But if you look at it, this is the crunch point of the season for them.

00:23:59And this is what they wanted.

00:24:00They wanted to be defending their cup in the AFL Cup.

00:24:02They've got the semifinals.

00:24:04They wanted to be in the sharp end of the Champions League.

00:24:07They're in that.

00:24:08You're looking at potentially having other playoff games in there in the Champions League as well after that.

00:24:14It's a great time.

00:24:15You've just got to be in there and keep on trucking because they need the energy.

00:24:19They need to keep on driving through.

00:24:20Yeah, absolutely.

00:24:21We watched this game live, of course, and at one point I didn't think it was going to end when

00:24:25we were on air this afternoon.

00:24:27That's how it felt because everything was happening and so many things, goals and penalties, the whole thing.

00:24:33Great spectacle.

00:24:34But, Dion, Bournemouth deserves some credit for the way they hung in there.

00:24:37Yeah, they did.

00:24:38You know, no Semenyo now.

00:24:39So it's got to be difficult for them.

00:24:41But they actually went into the ring and made it a fight.

00:24:45Yeah, quite right.

00:24:46Thank you very much.

00:24:46Right, Liam Rossini took charge of Chelsea for the first time tonight against Charlton Athletic of the Championship at the

00:24:52Valley for us.

00:24:52Mark Scott.

00:24:56The higher the pressure, the higher the privilege was Liam Rossini's take on stepping into one of the hottest hot

00:25:03seats in football.

00:25:05And he'll certainly get an early blast of heat if Chelsea slip up here.

00:25:10Amongst Charlton's four changes is a second appearance of the season for keeper Will Mannion.

00:25:17Rossini's first Chelsea selection shows eight alterations from the loss at Fulham, with Tosin, Caicedo and Santos the only ones

00:25:25to keep their places.

00:25:29Chelsea have gone through from 61 of their last 63 FA Cup ties against teams from a lower division, including

00:25:36their last 22 in a row.

00:25:42Caicedo popped off to Achenfong.

00:25:44He's going to have a hit!

00:25:45It's beaten away well by Mannion.

00:25:48Josh Hachianfong, who has only scored once before in his entire career with a stinger here that needed a firm

00:25:56pair of hands from Will Mannion.

00:26:02Jamie Gittins.

00:26:05Good carry.

00:26:06And not a bad strike either.

00:26:10Mannion down smartly here to keep him away.

00:26:12Good direct start from Jamie Gittins.

00:26:15Though close enough to the keeper that it's always what he should make.

00:26:24That's going to break for Jor-El Hato!

00:26:30The first goal of the Risenia Reign is a humdinger from Jor-El Hato.

00:26:41On the stroke of half-time, Charlton Antam, by a glorious hit from Hato.

00:26:49The first goal of the Liam Brasenia Reign is a first goal from the 19-year-old for Chelsea as

00:26:58well.

00:26:59Charlton 0, Chelsea 1.

00:27:01That is a glorious strike from the teenager.

00:27:12Giyu.

00:27:14Bringing Acheonpong into it.

00:27:18Gittins.

00:27:21Jamie Giyu with a tap in, but he couldn't get there.

00:27:25And now Chelsea won a penalty.

00:27:27Chris Kavanaugh making it very clear that he felt the ball was won.

00:27:32This is what they were unhappy about.

00:27:34And he does get cleaned out, doesn't he?

00:27:40Slighted nicely upfield by Tosin and beautifully controlled by Gittins.

00:27:47Campbell has taken him out.

00:27:51It's a real swipe from Campbell that gives Chelsea the free kick.

00:27:57So the Guadagnate.

00:28:00Oh, great ball!

00:28:01And headed home by Tosin!

00:28:03And Chelsea have daylight now!

00:28:07Liam Brasenia well on track to get off to a winning start with Chelsea.

00:28:14Tosin had a free header and any kind of touch from there was always likely to send it in.

00:28:21Their side heading through to round four of the FA Cup.

00:28:25But there's been quite a few charts directed towards the ownership.

00:28:29And it's not been complimentary.

00:28:36Tyrese Campbell.

00:28:39Harted into Lieberne!

00:28:42Bree with the air kick and then behind for a corner.

00:28:45Closest that Charlton have come.

00:29:01The man who joined Charlton at youth level after a spell at Chelsea scores against the Blues to give the

00:29:12addicts hope.

00:29:14But you could argue that there was a player at an offside position in front of Philipp Jorgensen.

00:29:20But no VAR, no problem for Charlton.

00:29:24And that show.

00:29:31Three and blue up there for him to aim for.

00:30:02And the first time sweep is blocked!

00:30:03Looking to add some gloss to the scoreline laid off for Pedro Neto, who will hit it now and score

00:30:09Chelsea's fourth.

00:30:11And he had pinpoint accuracy that meant that Wilmanian could only stand and watch as Chelsea hit their fourth at

00:30:19the Valley.

00:30:21It is a happy valley for Liam Resenia in his first game as the Chelsea boss, Charlton 1, Chelsea 4.

00:30:33Chelsea running right now, looking for number five.

00:30:37Estevão, Manion to the rescue.

00:30:40No, it's a penalty.

00:30:43And Chelsea have the chance to hit five.

00:30:47A wry smile from Estevão.

00:30:50I know that it's foggy.

00:30:52But even I can see that this is a foul.

00:30:58Enzo Fernandes.

00:31:00A five-star Chelsea showing in game one for Liam Resenia.

00:31:06And it is the last kick of the game.

00:31:08Well, he said that he was going to ignore the noise around his appointment as manager of the Blues.

00:31:16And his players have gone quietly about their business tonight.

00:31:20Charlton Athletic 1, Chelsea 5.

00:31:25Can't get carried away off one game.

00:31:27And let's see.

00:31:30I have an idea of what I think this team could be.

00:31:33But it takes time.

00:31:35We need to be consistent.

00:31:36We need to keep our feet on the floor and be really, really humble.

00:31:39We knew we were coming up against a world-class team.

00:31:43And we had a good structure.

00:31:45We were in the game for long periods of time.

00:31:48But there was just certain things we gave.

00:31:49The goals for us were really poor.

00:31:51And that was just too easy for them to go away from us.

00:31:53Football, we talk a lot about tactics.

00:31:55What I was happy was with the attitude and mentality of the group today.

00:31:58And that's something that we really need to build on.

00:32:00Yeah, we'll talk about his role at the football club in just a moment.

00:32:03But, Dion, what a start.

00:32:05Chelsea made.

00:32:06What a goal.

00:32:06Yeah, I mean...

00:32:07Joel Harto, who will never strike a ball like it ever again.

00:32:13The young Dutch lad, 19 years old, scores the first goal in Liam's reign.

00:32:19And look at that.

00:32:20I mean, that's perfectly struck on the laces, Rob.

00:32:24It's an incredible strike.

00:32:26There wasn't a lot happened in that first half.

00:32:29There was a lot of control from Chelsea.

00:32:31That was something different.

00:32:33Absolutely.

00:32:34Clean.

00:32:35You scored a few of those, didn't you?

00:32:37No.

00:32:38Not with your left.

00:32:39Not with my left.

00:32:39It traded.

00:32:40I just traded everything.

00:32:42Rob, let's talk about the job that Liam Rossini has got on his hands.

00:32:45When you look at the squad, what do you think he's got?

00:32:48Well, some things haven't changed since a week ago.

00:32:51And you're looking at a guy who's tactically astute.

00:32:54He's a clever guy.

00:32:55And he's got to find a way in games to respond for when the opposition change the game.

00:33:00And I think today they were sort of always in control.

00:33:03They always had control of the ball.

00:33:04So it wasn't really asked that question.

00:33:07I think he's got to develop those second-ranked players, the players who aren't really in the first 11.

00:33:12Get them up to speed is the biggest thing.

00:33:14And the biggest thing of all, find a connection between the club and the fans and the players again.

00:33:21I think that's the bit.

00:33:22We heard it in the game.

00:33:23And I think that's where the discourse is right now.

00:33:26Dion, what do you see?

00:33:27No, I think the depth is where they're struggling.

00:33:32If they want to go and challenge in the top four, start winning things, as we were watching that goal

00:33:37as well.

00:33:38I've chatted to Rob about it all day that if they could have 19, 20, 21 top, top class players,

00:33:44they will be challenging.

00:33:46At the moment, they haven't got that many.

00:33:48And he needs to coach some players better.

00:33:50And find some sort of consistency as well, Rob.

00:33:52Yeah, absolutely.

00:33:54It's such a quick turnaround for him.

00:33:56There's such a far time.

00:33:57His coaching is key.

00:33:59The time on the training ground is so short for him.

00:34:01Yeah, absolutely.

00:34:02Right, disappointed week in the Premier League.

00:34:04You can see Manchester City for six points behind Arsenal in the title race.

00:34:08But their new £64 million signing Antoine Semenya made his debut today,

00:34:12with City starting their cup journey at home to Exeter City of League One.

00:34:16Conor McNamara was watching.

00:34:27Guerrero decided to have a crack.

00:34:29It came off the back of Max Alain.

00:34:31It's the first corner of the game, and it's for League One, Exeter City.

00:34:36Pep Guardiola looking on for the stands today.

00:34:39He picked up a yellow card against Brighton in midweek, triggering a touchline ban.

00:34:46Great reaction from James Trafford.

00:34:49Liam Oaks up for the corner, managing to get his head on that.

00:34:55And from point-blank range, and given that he was impeded,

00:34:58you've got to admire the reactions of James Trafford there.

00:35:03Get it from Rodri, is accurately to Reinders.

00:35:06And here is Erling Haaland involved for the first time today, and it ricochets out for the corner.

00:35:14Nice little glancing touch here by Tajani Reinders.

00:35:18Erling Haaland usually only needs a glimpse.

00:35:23Haaland has got nine goals from nine FA Cup starts in his career so far.

00:35:30Look at two.

00:35:32Haaland.

00:35:33Erling Haaland's touch, and they couldn't...

00:35:36Oh, can they?

00:35:36What a touch-up to the post!

00:35:38It's gone over the line!

00:35:39Manchester City celebrates!

00:35:41They have taken the lead!

00:35:43And it's the first ever goal for City from Max Alain.

00:35:49He made his debut for the club on Wednesday against Brighton.

00:35:53Having been recalled from a long spell,

00:35:57Max Alain scores in the FA Cup.

00:36:04Manchester City have not lost a home game in the FA Cup in over a decade.

00:36:09They can level the all-time record for a league club in the competition if they make it 16 home

00:36:15wins in a row today.

00:36:18Semenho.

00:36:18Oh, Rodri!

00:36:20What a shot that is from Rodri!

00:36:22He's fully 10 yards outside the penalty area there.

00:36:27It is a first goal of the season for the Spaniard.

00:36:31And it struck as true as that.

00:36:34No goalkeeper in the world is going to get much closer.

00:36:40Just past the 40th minute of the game.

00:36:43It's now 35 minutes since Leo Mons had that opportunity for Exeter.

00:36:47It's been all 76 there.

00:36:49Semenho wins the corner kick for his team.

00:36:57Played in by Ria Chirky.

00:36:59Oh, it's been ricocheted in!

00:37:02It came off two bunnies just in front of the goal line.

00:37:05As it comes towards Nathan Aki, alongside him is Jake Doyle-Hayes.

00:37:10Aki doesn't really respond when the ball hits the net as much as you'd expect for a goal scorer.

00:37:14I think the last touch is off Doyle-Hayes there.

00:37:19Richardson.

00:37:21City with it back on the edge of the penalty area.

00:37:23Makedu to Johnny Rinders has a look to see who's what they've been.

00:37:26And it's in again.

00:37:26It's four.

00:37:27Four ahead of half-time for Manchester City.

00:37:31This one does look to be an own goal.

00:37:35Given away on the edge of the penalty area by Browley.

00:37:40After Rinders pulls the ball back.

00:37:42It's in off Jack Fitzwater.

00:37:47Stiffen Fouy.

00:37:51Rinders to Semenho.

00:37:53Rinko Lewis made a good run and that's a great finish.

00:37:57Manchester City making it five.

00:37:59Just three minutes into the second period.

00:38:02Rinders to Semenho.

00:38:04What about this for a deliberate?

00:38:05Perfect.

00:38:06Rinko Lewis was given a new two-year contract extension in September.

00:38:10He makes it Manchester City five.

00:38:14Exeter City now.

00:38:17Cherki.

00:38:19Skips away from the attentions of Jake Doyle-Hayes.

00:38:22And Cherki picks out Antoine Semenho.

00:38:24Could this be a debut goal?

00:38:29On his first appearance for Manchester City.

00:38:32Antoine Semenho delivers.

00:38:36The first of what City fans hope will be many.

00:38:42Up and running for his Manchester City career after the big money move from Bournemouth.

00:38:46But he is taking it all with grace and with ease.

00:38:51Cherki.

00:38:52Rinders with an important touch.

00:38:54Gets it back again from Mucasa.

00:38:56Now Bonanno Silva.

00:38:58Now Jeremy Doku.

00:39:03Rinders.

00:39:04Brilliant.

00:39:04Patience pays as Manchester City make it seven.

00:39:10They bided their time.

00:39:12They waited for the moment.

00:39:13And then perfectly executed.

00:39:15From Tijani Rinders.

00:39:18Manchester City seven.

00:39:20Exeter City nil.

00:39:22They came with hope and expectation.

00:39:24They also would have been lingering.

00:39:26Some fear and doubt.

00:39:28Those fears have been realised today with this emphatic Manchester City performance.

00:39:34Kaido.

00:39:35Making a little burst.

00:39:37City looking for goal number eight.

00:39:39And they get a quarter kick.

00:39:44Kaido.

00:39:45Taking short against City.

00:39:46They've done that a lot today.

00:39:47Here's Riku Lewis.

00:39:50Nico O'Reilly.

00:39:52It is eight.

00:39:54And how accurate is that?

00:39:57From Nico O'Reilly.

00:40:00Manchester City matched their achievements.

00:40:03Of the FA Cup third round a year ago.

00:40:05When they put eight passes off at City.

00:40:08Third goal of the campaign.

00:40:09In all competitions for Nico O'Reilly.

00:40:13Blaze.

00:40:15And it's comfortably won back from Manchester City.

00:40:17This time by Devine Mucasa.

00:40:19And Mucasa's got support to his right hand side.

00:40:21Ryan McIder.

00:40:23Gets goal number nine.

00:40:29Ryan McIder matching Antoine Semenya's achievement of scoring on his Manchester City debut.

00:40:36Big moment for the 17-year-old.

00:40:40Mucasa involved in the build-up two.

00:40:42The young guns taking charge.

00:40:45Manchester City need one more to hit double figures now.

00:40:51Blinders.

00:40:52Trying to pick out Cherokee.

00:40:53Intercepted by Jake Duremays.

00:40:55This is young George Birch.

00:40:58Better late than never.

00:41:01What about that for George Birch?

00:41:04It's his first ever senior goal.

00:41:09That is a moment that 19-year-old George Birch will never forget.

00:41:14And the Excellency fans can talk about that all the way back home on the bus.

00:41:23Jeremy Dukku.

00:41:25To Jeremy Rinders.

00:41:27What a backheel.

00:41:28Can Dukku finish?

00:41:30Just got a detangle in his legs.

00:41:32Following up everywhere is Rico Louris.

00:41:34And Manchester City do hit double figures.

00:41:39A second goal of the game for Rico Louris.

00:41:43Manchester City striding into the fourth round.

00:41:47And they're thoroughly dismantling Excellency here today.

00:41:5410-1.

00:41:55I repeat, 10 for Manchester City.

00:41:57And Antoine Samediotti is in great company as well.

00:42:00First player to score and assist a goal on his Manchester City debut in all competitions

00:42:04since Sergio Aguero against Swansea City in August 2011.

00:42:09Not bad.

00:42:10It wasn't bad.

00:42:10It looked like he'd been playing with City all his life.

00:42:15He just fitted in.

00:42:16Stuck him on the left.

00:42:18And, you know, just little bits that he did.

00:42:20He's a very, very intelligent footballer.

00:42:24Sticking ball in areas like that where Haaland will be.

00:42:27Because Haaland's got to get to nowhere.

00:42:29A little step there, by the way.

00:42:31A little step which gives him...

00:42:32You like that little step, don't you?

00:42:33Yeah, only because it gives him an extra yard to receive the ball and play his teammate in.

00:42:38Nothing happened on that occasion.

00:42:40But, again, he comes in this time because he's not being involved.

00:42:43Sets himself up.

00:42:44Gets a shot off.

00:42:45And it falls to Rodri.

00:42:47And Rodri does the rest.

00:42:49But he does more than that, Rob.

00:42:50Yeah, and he can do anything.

00:42:52And he's so unpredictable, which is the hard thing.

00:42:54When you've got someone against him, you've just seen him come inside.

00:42:58And then you just see now, you see him stand one player up, go outside him, go outside the next

00:43:02player.

00:43:03And sometimes I just felt that the balls in were a little bit too quick for his teammates.

00:43:07He's looking and he's giving and going here, whereas before he was dribbling.

00:43:11And then that's finally someone's reading that cross.

00:43:14It's a wonderful cross.

00:43:15He doesn't hesitate, which at the top level, rather than standing and wondering and waiting whether he should cross it,

00:43:21he just does it.

00:43:22Look at that for Gat.

00:43:23And then there.

00:43:23Wow.

00:43:24To go beyond.

00:43:25There's a fraction where X has to fell asleep there and he was gone.

00:43:29Where do you chaps think that Semenu fits in in all competitions for Manchester City in that team?

00:43:34As in, how often does he play?

00:43:37How often does he play?

00:43:37He plays.

00:43:38Yeah.

00:43:38He plays.

00:43:39That's what they've got him for.

00:43:40For that reason, what we've just shown there, the positivity, the end product, making a difference, he plays.

00:43:45Save you, Rob?

00:43:46Yeah, I think you're looking at someone who can do all that facets from an attacking point.

00:43:51And it's a matter of time before his teammates just go, wow, I've just got to make those runs.

00:43:55Just get in there.

00:43:56I feel so for the right backs.

00:43:57I was going to say, it's a nightmare.

00:43:59Well, it is a nightmare to defend against, isn't it, Rob?

00:44:01It's so hard.

00:44:03You're tucked in, you're tucked narrow.

00:44:05And at times today, you're saying, OK, you're out there on your own.

00:44:07And Semenya was out on his own, and they just left him.

00:44:10And they were in trouble.

00:44:12Yeah, frightening.

00:44:13Still to come, highlights from 18 FA Cup ties.

00:44:15But first, a reminder, plenty of football entertainment on BBC Sounds.

00:44:19I told you he was the king of Finchbarn.

00:44:21See, not them dressing rooms in the early days, that was lovely.

00:44:28I'm missing football.

00:44:29I want to be in that dressing room in my life.

00:44:31I actually do suffer from stitches, and you should do food tonight.

00:44:34How do you do that?

00:44:36Listen on BBC Sounds.

00:44:39Yeah, some great shows.

00:44:41Five Live also has commentary of Arsenal's trip to Portsmouth on Sunday from 2 o'clock.

00:44:45You can listen on BBC Sounds.

00:44:47Kelly will have highlights of Sunday's eight ties here on BBC One 10.30.

00:44:51If you've missed any of the weekend's cup action, do not worry.

00:44:54You can catch up on the BBC Sport website and app.

00:44:56Live football from the WSL on the iPlayer.

00:44:59Quarter past two on Sunday.

00:45:00Liverpool take on the London City Lionesses.

00:45:02And the Masters snooker from Ali Pali gets underway.

00:45:06BBC Two, one o'clock.

00:45:08We shall be watching.

00:45:09Aston Villa flying high in the Premier League.

00:45:11It's another frustrating season for Spurs.

00:45:13Could a cup run spark their season into life?

00:45:16Commentary from Ali Chira and Steve Walsh.

00:45:20Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa.

00:45:23Neither has lifted this trophy really for far too long.

00:45:2691.

00:45:28Tottenham's last FA Cup win.

00:45:3019.57 Villas.

00:45:33Begin to Marlon.

00:45:34Marlon complaining to Buendia.

00:45:36Big chance.

00:45:37Great goal.

00:45:40Emiliano Buendia.

00:45:41It's a fabulous finish there.

00:45:44Hammered into the roof of the Tottenham Hotspur net.

00:45:47Thomas Frank's side are behind again.

00:45:50What a brilliant goal that is.

00:45:52So clever the way they work it.

00:45:54Can't give them that much time in midfield to take your time, take a touch and pass.

00:46:00Absolutely sensational.

00:46:011v1v the keeper.

00:46:03Hits it high.

00:46:04Pass for Corio.

00:46:05No chance.

00:46:06Great finish.

00:46:12Rodgers.

00:46:13A little round the cushioned header.

00:46:17Just tell has gone it straight to Bogard.

00:46:19That might be a problem for Tottenham.

00:46:22Buendia works it to Daniel Marlon.

00:46:25Buendia again.

00:46:26And Rodgers.

00:46:27And 2-0.

00:46:31And things go from bad to worse for Tottenham Hotspur and for Thomas Frank.

00:46:39Just watch the belief and the confidence that's running through this Aston Villa team.

00:46:44The way they move it.

00:46:44The way the runners off each other.

00:46:47That little touch there from Buendia into his path.

00:46:51There's still a lot to do.

00:46:52But the way he guides it into the corner.

00:46:55Rodgers.

00:46:55Keep a no chance.

00:46:59They simply have to score the next goal in the game.

00:47:02That's a good ball from Matisse Tell.

00:47:04João Paulinha.

00:47:05Pedro Porro.

00:47:07Martinsson closed him down and made the block.

00:47:11Rodgers.

00:47:12And Simons.

00:47:15That's a decent save by Fison.

00:47:18It's something.

00:47:20Even the reaction of the crowd, Steve, tells you something.

00:47:30Colum Mouane.

00:47:31Mouane won it fairly from the Marvogar.

00:47:34Four in this Tottenham attack.

00:47:35On a bad.

00:47:36Two on it.

00:47:39Exactly what Tottenham needed.

00:47:42Yeah, well done.

00:47:43You could feel it straight away.

00:47:45Couldn't you?

00:47:45There's no way that's a foul.

00:47:46It did really well in closing down Mouane.

00:47:49Then the pass.

00:47:50Can you find it?

00:47:51And then you're looking for the finish.

00:47:53Because that's a good touch.

00:47:54A great finish.

00:47:56They're back, isn't it?

00:47:58And isn't what a goal can do, isn't it?

00:48:00Yeah.

00:48:02Already you can feel a little bit of a difference in that spot these Spurs fans are craving.

00:48:08Here comes Tottenham again.

00:48:10It shall be Simons!

00:48:17Tottenham Hotspur's best 60 seconds for quite a long time.

00:48:21They might reluctantly take losing, Tottenham fans, but they won't take losing limply.

00:48:27And Tottenham have at least given them that in this second half.

00:48:30That's nicely worked.

00:48:31It's cash.

00:48:32And that's a lovely ball.

00:48:34Buendia brilliantly off the line.

00:48:36That could be absolutely crucial.

00:48:38Pedro Porro off the line.

00:48:40And Pedro Porro to lash it away from danger again.

00:48:44Just about to see how important could that stop on the line be.

00:48:52And there's a break on here.

00:48:54Lamar Bogart has Morgan Rodgers.

00:48:56Watkins is getting forward as well.

00:48:58Rodgers through Danso and put behind by Van de Ven.

00:49:05But Aston Villa have put their place in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

00:49:13We've got a very tough spell of games.

00:49:16We need to regroup, continue, and put, for example, two very good halves together with massive intensity.

00:49:23And then we need to beat with them.

00:49:26I know you've said before you feel like you're very aligned with the board and everyone here knows what you're

00:49:30trying to achieve.

00:49:31How close are you to achieving it?

00:49:33And do you still feel like you have that support?

00:49:34Yeah, I completely feel that support, no doubt about that.

00:49:38We need to put more and better performance together and keep pushing forward.

00:49:44He's a man under pressure.

00:49:45We'll talk about Thomas Frank in just a moment.

00:49:47But first of all, let's talk about Super John McGinn.

00:49:49Yes, him and him and Buendia dictated play today in the first half.

00:49:54They were brilliant.

00:49:55And it's all about understanding your role and tucking inside when he needed to tuck inside.

00:49:59And Paulini and Gray were the two central midfielders for Tottenham.

00:50:02Just couldn't live with him and his timing of his movement.

00:50:06And then his link-up play to the front two.

00:50:08And from there, Villa just completely stole the show.

00:50:12Here again, drifting in between the midfield two.

00:50:15Led to Buendia's goal, who was also doing the same from the other side.

00:50:19You come into central positions and just rotated the play at times, Dion.

00:50:24And it was so difficult for Spurs just to pick him up at any moment of the game.

00:50:28He seems to do all the ugly stuff very, very well that nobody else in the team wants to do.

00:50:33But he's also affecting where his teammates are.

00:50:37I mean, this one here, just bouncing the ball, keeping it nice and simple.

00:50:41Not complicating it.

00:50:42He's a leader.

00:50:43He makes sure that all his team are accountable for their actions.

00:50:47He's pointing.

00:50:48He's shouting.

00:50:49See how he stops there.

00:50:50Gets himself into a really good position.

00:50:52Sets his team off again.

00:50:54Tries to squeeze one in the corner.

00:50:56Not happening.

00:50:57But with that armband, he is their leader.

00:51:01And it works for him.

00:51:02You must be delighted, Dion at the moment with the Villa.

00:51:04Everyone seems to know their role.

00:51:05They're so well coached, aren't they?

00:51:06They are, they are.

00:51:07But like Rob's just pointed out there, that's the area that John works in.

00:51:12Yeah.

00:51:12And they know to leave that area for John.

00:51:14And it's effective.

00:51:15Right, let's deal with this then.

00:51:17Thomas Frank, man under pressure.

00:51:18Yeah.

00:51:18Is he going to be there, May?

00:51:20I don't see it.

00:51:21I don't see how it is.

00:51:23The performances they're putting in.

00:51:24You're saying there's a bit of life today, a response, but it's becoming too often, too

00:51:30much, too few now.

00:51:32Dion, can you see him still being there at the end of the season?

00:51:34If the results carry on like this, he won't be.

00:51:37It's all about results for managers and they keep losing, so it's no good.

00:51:39Okay, thank you.

00:51:40Highlights from another seven third round ties now, starting at Molineux.

00:51:46Perhaps when the draw was made, League Two Shrewsby Town might have fancied their chances

00:51:51in this.

00:51:51Wolves are still bottom of the Premier League, but unbeaten in three.

00:51:55And Jorgen Strand Larsson flicks them in front early on.

00:51:59He'd gone 13 games without a goal before that.

00:52:0270 places separate these sides, a big gap.

00:52:05And Wolves surged into the space.

00:52:08Colombian Jean Arias made it two a couple of minutes later.

00:52:11Michael Appleton's Shrewsbury have lost four in a row in the league.

00:52:15A relegation scrap looms, but they searched for a way back into the time.

00:52:19Arias was adjudged to have brought down John Marquis.

00:52:22Penalty.

00:52:23And Marquis got up to reduce the deficit.

00:52:26Less than 26 minutes gone, but he grabbed the ball, clearly sensing that Wolves might wobble.

00:52:32But the foundations were not secure at the other end.

00:52:35Keeper Eli Harrison, on loan from Manchester United, didn't spot Strand Larsson.

00:52:39And it's a long way back from there.

00:52:42Wolves are apparently open to selling the Norwegian forward.

00:52:45Some fans have criticised him.

00:52:47But in a difficult season, this was a therapeutic afternoon.

00:52:51Strand Larsson is in, looking for the hat-trick, which he has.

00:52:55Strand Larsson with the treble.

00:52:57He's first in over eight years of professional football.

00:53:01The game won, Wolves could enjoy themselves.

00:53:04Fair Lopez had room, had a go, and Wolves still had time to put Rodrigo Gomez in to score the

00:53:10fifth.

00:53:11The old gold has lost some of its shine of late, but by the end they were bypassing Shrewsbury at

00:53:17will.

00:53:17This was their eighth win in nine against lower league opposition in the cup,

00:53:21rounded off by Tolu Arokodare, 6-1.

00:53:24And Wolves fans can look forward to the fourth round.

00:53:28The end of the season probably can't come soon enough for Sheffield Wednesday,

00:53:32marooned at the foot of the championship after a points deduction destined for League One,

00:53:36and still awaiting new owners.

00:53:38They fell behind when Keane Lewis Potter stole in at the back post.

00:53:42The Bees, fifth in the Premier League, made eight changes,

00:53:45but it didn't hamper their serene progress to round four.

00:53:48Youngster Rommel Donovan was one of those given a start,

00:53:51and won a penalty, fouled by Cole McGee.

00:53:54Matthias Jensen went route one from the spot.

00:53:56It's now five wins out of six for Keith Andrews' team,

00:53:59and the admirable statistic Wednesday fans can currently only dream of.

00:54:04Fulham have found their groove.

00:54:06They're unbeaten in six in the league,

00:54:07and yet they made seven changes for the meeting with Middlesbrough,

00:54:10second in the championship, and it looked like it might cost them.

00:54:13Borough worked it well, Fulham forgot where Hackney was, Hayden Hackney, 1-0.

00:54:18They held that lead well into the second half,

00:54:21so Fulham sent on Harry Wilson.

00:54:22He's having a great week in a great season,

00:54:24and three minutes after coming on,

00:54:26he scored his third goal in the last three games.

00:54:29It tilted the time.

00:54:31Tom Kearney was another of Fulham's super subs.

00:54:33He played in Emil Smith-Rowe

00:54:35to fire the Premier League side in front in the 77th minute.

00:54:39Borough's chance had passed.

00:54:41Wilson inevitably was involved in Fulham's third.

00:54:44His ball queued up Kevin to score his first for the club.

00:54:47Fulham have never won the FA Cup.

00:54:49Could this be their year?

00:54:53Millwall, battling for promotion in the championship,

00:54:55ventured north with high hopes against Premier League strugglers Burnley

00:54:58without a win in 12 matches.

00:55:00Veteran striker Ashley Barnes made a rare appearance

00:55:03and poached the opening goal.

00:55:05It was like the old days at Turf Moor.

00:55:07These two sides have met just once before in the FA Cup,

00:55:10Millwall winning on their way to the 2004 final.

00:55:13Loom Chauna beat keeper Stephen Bender at his near post to make it two.

00:55:18They were gifted a 3-0 half-time lead after Bender's wayward clearance.

00:55:23Jadon Anthony scored with a first-time finish.

00:55:28Barnes hadn't scored since March,

00:55:30but he used all his penalty box now to grab his second of the game,

00:55:34after Millwall failed to clear their lines.

00:55:36Burnley, whose only FA Cup triumph came in 1914,

00:55:40had a fifth after more poor defending by the championship team.

00:55:44Jadon Barnell grabbing his first for the club

00:55:47after coming on as a second-half sub.

00:55:49This was welcome respite for the Clarets from their Premier League struggles,

00:55:53but head coach Scott Parker won't have enjoyed the way they lost the ball close to goal

00:55:57to allow Josh Coburn to run clear and score a late consolation past Max Weiss.

00:56:03A Cup run might just be the tonic Burnley need to revive their campaign.

00:56:09It's been a pretty bleak winter for these two sides.

00:56:12Neither of them have won a game in a month,

00:56:14but someone had to go through,

00:56:16and Southampton were determined it would be them.

00:56:18Kuryu Matsuki had the shot,

00:56:20which came out to Cameron Bragg,

00:56:22who'd never scored a senior goal until then.

00:56:25Saints were proving too strong for League One Doncaster.

00:56:28Cameron Archer didn't worry about whether he'd been fouled.

00:56:31He had bigger plans.

00:56:32With the help of a deflection, he made it two, his fourth of the season.

00:56:36It's half a century since Southampton won the FA Cup.

00:56:39A repeat would be asking a lot in terms of an anniversary present,

00:56:43but they seemed sure of progressing

00:56:44when Matsuki headed in their third before the break,

00:56:48especially as Doncaster are hopelessly out of form.

00:56:51And yet, three minutes into the second half,

00:56:53Robbie Gott's corner was nodded in by Matty Pearson,

00:56:56and Donnie started to believe.

00:56:59They began to prey on Saints' frailties.

00:57:02Now Owen Bailey works the ball to Jordan Gibson,

00:57:05who placed in his sixth of the season, 3-2.

00:57:08Still more than half an hour left.

00:57:10A Cup tyre broken out.

00:57:12Stoppage time.

00:57:13Doncaster corner.

00:57:14Could they level it?

00:57:16Oh, but Benes didn't get there.

00:57:18What a save not once, but twice.

00:57:20How on earth has that stayed out?

00:57:22A dramatic finish and a promising start.

00:57:25That was Daniel Perez's Southampton debut.

00:57:30The 2021 FA Cup winners Leicester City have beaten Cheltenham Town 4-0

00:57:35on the only two previous occasions they've met.

00:57:38Striker Patson Daka joined the Foxes after their Wembley Triumph

00:57:41and had never scored in the competition himself.

00:57:44He put that unwanted record to bed with Leicester City's first effort on target.

00:57:49Steffi Mavadidi had set him up for the opener.

00:57:51Leicester's second was all Mavadidi's own work.

00:57:53Skipping inside from the touchline to complete a thoroughly professional performance

00:57:58and ease some of the pressure on under-fire manager Marty Sifuentes.

00:58:04Boreham would have become third-round regulars.

00:58:07The National League side have reached this stage in four of the last six seasons.

00:58:10For them, that was where the good news ended.

00:58:12Because from the moment Kyron Lofthouse smashed Burton in front,

00:58:16they didn't look like the out-of-form side they have been.

00:58:19The League One Brewers were two up before the break.

00:58:21This time, debutant Kane Adam's header was diverted in by Boreham Wood's Charlie O'Connell.

00:58:27The Wood have only reached the fourth round once before.

00:58:30It was clearly out of reach here.

00:58:32The free-kick dropped by Ted Curd.

00:58:34Fabio Tavares scored Burton's third.

00:58:37This wasn't going to plan for Boreham Wood.

00:58:39They'd been so good at home this season, but were powerless to stop Burton.

00:58:43Dylan Williams scored his first of the season to make it 4-0.

00:58:47Burton had lost their last three without scoring.

00:58:50Maybe they'd been saving it up.

00:58:51JJ McKeanen floated in the fifth,

00:58:54and even they were surprised at how easy this was.

00:59:00So, not to be for Boreham Wood, but what about Western Supermare?

00:59:03The sixth-tier team have reached the FA Cup third round for the first time in their history.

00:59:08The reward? A 247-mile trip to lead to Grimsby Town.

00:59:13On the east coast for us, Chris Latcham.

00:59:22A 247-mile trip to Grimsby Town.

00:59:22Supported by Walker.

00:59:24Into the feet of Warren, who's done really well to turn.

00:59:27Deflected and saved well by Harris down to his left.

00:59:31The ball from Warren was goal-bound.

00:59:34And the deflection looked like it was going to carry it into the corner.

00:59:42Western have 11 behind the ball.

00:59:44And Grimsby are continuing to probe.

00:59:47And here's Vernon.

00:59:48Flick on is in.

00:59:49Portmanly tipped over by Harris.

00:59:51Almost, almost, almost catching out the Western goalkeeper.

01:00:04Vernon again, sends one in, and this time, he picks out the top corner.

01:00:12Charles Vernon's had a couple of range-finders.

01:00:15A couple of testers for Max Harris.

01:00:17But this time, the goalkeeper could get nowhere near it.

01:00:26Testing ball for Cameron McJanet.

01:00:28And Cummins felt the contact in the air and wins the free kick.

01:00:34Delicious shooting range.

01:00:36And Coulson has only got one target.

01:00:41Took a deflection and looped it to the back of the net.

01:00:48Luke Coulson will claim the goal.

01:00:51But without that flick on the way in,

01:00:54Smith would never have been beaten.

01:00:57What a moment for the Western fans behind the goal.

01:01:01Almost like they sucked it into the back of the net.

01:01:07Stolton's touch took him away from goal.

01:01:10But the cross is excellent.

01:01:12Right to the far post and Warren heads over.

01:01:17And now the Grimsby Town fans find their voice.

01:01:19A couple of key chances in the last five minutes.

01:01:22Belief that they've weathered their own particular storm.

01:01:25And now getting back on top of this one.

01:01:28And Rhys Stolton's won a corner and G's up the fans too.

01:01:37Michael Smith gets the header away.

01:01:39But it still might fall.

01:01:41Kabya has made himself a nuisance.

01:01:43And flicked the ball into the back of the net.

01:01:47Off the bench and to the rescue for the Mariners.

01:01:52Max Harris beaten for a second time.

01:01:56And Jays Kabya puts the league side 2-1 up.

01:02:08Coulson has room to move into.

01:02:10But Koori is on his shoulder.

01:02:12And drags him to the ground.

01:02:15Coulson wasn't happy.

01:02:17He felt he was away here.

01:02:18He's had up to pick out Robuston.

01:02:20And fell before he could get his pass away.

01:02:24And as they try to drag the Mariners into choppy waters.

01:02:29Coulson nicely worked.

01:02:31Robuston.

01:02:31Britain!

01:02:34Has levelled it up for Weston!

01:02:37Great Britain they call him.

01:02:40That's his 20th goal of the season.

01:02:44And he's given them hope of reaching round 4 for the first time.

01:02:49Look what it means to the Seagulls!

01:02:56Sam Lavelle can push on with the ball.

01:02:59It's opened up in front of him.

01:03:00The fans wanted him to shoot.

01:03:04Instead he's picked out Green.

01:03:06And Green picks out Kabya!

01:03:08Deflected wide!

01:03:14Desperate defending from the captain.

01:03:19Flicked on and flicked in!

01:03:23Kieran Green!

01:03:25Unchallenged with the header.

01:03:27And just gave it the eyes.

01:03:30The captain Kieran has come off the bench.

01:03:32And nodded Grimsby towards round 4.

01:03:38We want to put the club on the map.

01:03:40We're trying to do that.

01:03:40We understand that we're still in the fourth tier.

01:03:42I'm not sure Britain Weston's Supermair have the reach that PT Manchester United does here.

01:03:47But at the same time, if you're still in the hat, you've got a chance to do that.

01:03:52And that's important for this football club.

01:03:54We're a tough nut to crack.

01:03:55Yeah, they obviously went in front twice, but we come back.

01:03:59And I think that just shows the character of the team.

01:04:01And I said to the boys in there, they've got to get their heads up.

01:04:03They're sick as a pig in there.

01:04:05No one's speaking.

01:04:06But that tells you about them.

01:04:07They're really disappointed that they haven't come away with something.

01:04:09But I think when they wake up tomorrow morning, they'll realise that's one hell of an effort they put in.

01:04:14Absolutely.

01:04:15Fair play to Weston's Supermair.

01:04:17Dion showed fantastic character, but Grimsby Town just showed their EFL class.

01:04:21Yeah, it was unfortunately fitness and know-how and quality of finishing.

01:04:28I mean, two little half volleys, half volley there, a little half volley there.

01:04:32It's a really clever finish.

01:04:34The bounce falls nicely.

01:04:37KB just gets on the end of it and finishes very well.

01:04:39And I think Weston's Supermair tried their hardest to stay with the attackers, to try and compete in the box.

01:04:47But Grimsby's quality was a little bit too much for them.

01:04:50And they couldn't match them with quality and fitness.

01:04:54And they unfortunately came under at the end.

01:04:56Yep, absolutely.

01:04:57Well done to Grimsby Town.

01:04:59So Macclesfield, the only non-league team through to the fourth round draw, which takes place on Monday.

01:05:04The Wrexham Revolution continues apace after three promotions in three seasons.

01:05:09They're now attempting to reach the top flight for the first time in the club's history.

01:05:13On Friday night, they welcome Premier League Nottingham Forest, Cameron Pope.

01:05:16What's the first meeting between these two in more than 30 years?

01:05:21Wrexham prepare to do battle with top-tier opposition for the first time since their rise of the leagues began.

01:05:28Sam Smith is the host's danger man.

01:05:32Goals in both games so far in 2026.

01:05:36Last year's semi-finalists, Floddingham Forest, do not want to be the headline scout.

01:05:40Still, they make eight changes tonight.

01:05:43Igor Jesus and Amari Hutchinson, the only outfielders to keep their places from the league win at West Ham.

01:05:51The racecourse remembers the legendary Terry Yorif, the former Wales captain and manager, passed away this week, aged 75.

01:06:02Wrexham enter the FA Cup at this stage for the first time since 1982.

01:06:08Their third-round opponents back then, top-tier Nottingham Forest, and that day ended with a cup upset.

01:06:16Backup.

01:06:17Lovely curl on the ball.

01:06:19Oh, and it's come free.

01:06:20And it's Douglas-Louis.

01:06:22And he scores.

01:06:24And Nottingham Forest have the lead, or do they?

01:06:28Wrexham asking the question, I think they think it was handball.

01:06:32You can see here, it just comes off his arm, doesn't it?

01:06:41Doyle's ball.

01:06:46Obson fighting to win it back.

01:06:47It's come to Gakache.

01:06:49Oh, he's done it.

01:06:52Liberato Gakache's first goal in Wrexham colours.

01:06:55And look at what it means.

01:07:00For the war of the Wrexham's perseverance, Hutchinson lost it.

01:07:03No foul against Obson.

01:07:05What about the finish as well?

01:07:08And he gets a big bit of help as well.

01:07:10It's under deflection, off Morata.

01:07:16Igor Jesus with a foot in, and then beaten by Doyle.

01:07:19This could get better for Wrexham.

01:07:21Here's Broadhead.

01:07:23Flicking one through.

01:07:25Oh, and Rathbone!

01:07:26It's 2-0!

01:07:28Two goals in rapid succession to stun Nottingham Forest.

01:07:36Again, giving away.

01:07:37This time by Igor Jesus.

01:07:38And Wrexham weren't hanging around.

01:07:41Broadhead had his head up.

01:07:43Bit of fortune may be about the way it canons back to Oli Rathbone.

01:07:48You make your own look, though, they say.

01:07:52This is why people buy for forklifts.

01:07:57And here goes Jesus again.

01:07:59Stopped by Sam Smith, but without the concession of a free kick.

01:08:03And maybe one chance late in this first half for Forrest.

01:08:07Well, they've gone quickly and inaccurately.

01:08:09I look at Sam Smith while he was inside his own heart.

01:08:13And he's away and surely off.

01:08:17What a let off.

01:08:20And they can't believe it's not three.

01:08:24Down to his club colours.

01:08:26This man doesn't feel the cold on his side of winning against the Premier League team.

01:08:32Sivona.

01:08:34Oh!

01:08:35Off the frame of the goal.

01:08:37And this time it will count.

01:08:41And Igor Jesus has got Nottingham Forest back into this cup's eye.

01:08:47This ball seemed to hang in the air for an age.

01:08:50It certainly went over the line.

01:08:54Just gets the angle right.

01:08:55Off the inside of the post and despite the best efforts of Doyle.

01:08:59It's certainly a goal.

01:09:01And it was certainly needed.

01:09:05Josh Windas is crossing straight into Nico Williams.

01:09:10He will have a free kick to follow it up, though.

01:09:17Dobson's setting this one up.

01:09:20Oh!

01:09:20They've done it again!

01:09:21Brilliant!

01:09:22Brilliant from Hive!

01:09:26The definition of bullet headache.

01:09:30One of those balls that's so close to the goalkeeper that if an attacker gets there first, well,

01:09:36they're always good odds.

01:09:38Nobody was going to stop Dom Hyam getting that ball.

01:09:42What a time to get your first goal for the club.

01:09:46And Nottingham Forest, lots more, with a quarter of an hour remaining,

01:09:50are left with it all to do.

01:09:54Oh, Hudson, a goalie!

01:09:56And back with him, Warren.

01:10:00And it didn't take long.

01:10:03There is no rest.

01:10:04No time to switch off against the Premier League team.

01:10:11Nottingham Forest are not done.

01:10:14Nottingham Forest are not done.

01:10:17Very little time remains.

01:10:20Savona.

01:10:21Nottingham Forest, Savona, Hudson-Odoi!

01:10:24Fabulous, fabulous finish from Callum Hudson-Odoi!

01:10:28And he might just have rescued Nottingham Forest single-handedly.

01:10:33For the first time since the scoring started, Nottingham Forest are level.

01:10:38And that might well mean, we're set for an extra half an hour.

01:10:47Both sides are doing this game, everything.

01:10:51Oh, Windas!

01:10:54Saved by Sels, and he had to make himself big there.

01:10:58An enormous chance to re-establish a lead.

01:11:07Oh, McLean's missed!

01:11:09Blaze that one over the top.

01:11:14Igor Jesus.

01:11:17Saved by a Conquart.

01:11:19And Nottingham Forest cannot take advantage.

01:11:25Jay Rodriguez with Wrexham's fifth penalty.

01:11:29Oh, call as you like.

01:11:35Nottingham Forest's fifth penalty.

01:11:38They trail 4-3.

01:11:41This has to go in.

01:11:43Romare Hutchinson facing Arthur Aconquo.

01:11:49Saved by Aconquo!

01:11:52These dreams keep getting wilder.

01:11:55Wrexham's epic rise.

01:11:58Has another big dose of FA Cup fever.

01:12:01It's the championship side, who are in to round four.

01:12:06The first half's completely unacceptable.

01:12:08I let the players know.

01:12:09There's certain individuals who certainly know.

01:12:11And they can look in the mirror at that side of things.

01:12:13But the strangeness of football.

01:12:16The players who come on in the second half, I thought they were a credit.

01:12:18You know, and we went on and looked like a Premier League side.

01:12:20It's a big night for the club.

01:12:21It really is.

01:12:22You know, I'm just pleased for this group of players to write their bit of history in the FA Cup

01:12:27for the club.

01:12:28Had you practised penalties?

01:12:29Had you thought about it before this?

01:12:30Yes, we did, actually.

01:12:31We practised them yesterday.

01:12:32And, you know, it's always key to just go through and get everybody just that bit of confidence.

01:12:38And, you know, the lad's struck him well.

01:12:40But Arthur, you know, is the hero tonight.

01:12:42Congratulations to Phil Parkinson and Rob, Arthur Oconquo.

01:12:46He needed that, especially after that howler in the championship just before Christmas.

01:12:51I knew you'd bring that up.

01:12:52He has the night of his life and you bring up a mistake like that.

01:12:56Come on, this is reporting.

01:12:57It's journalism.

01:12:57It's important.

01:12:58It's a brilliant night for him.

01:12:59It was a really hectic 120 minutes, wasn't it?

01:13:02And he kept his composure throughout just to back him up.

01:13:05And what an evening for him.

01:13:07He had wonderful footwork in there for one save with this.

01:13:10And then you're looking at when you can come composure, when your team needs you and you come through strong.

01:13:16He had a little bit of luck with this save, pushing it back out.

01:13:19And then the rebound off the studs of his boots, basically.

01:13:21And when your luck's in, it's in as a keeper.

01:13:24And he was just a credit throughout the night because he had seven saves in the whole game.

01:13:29And he let in some goals.

01:13:30But the saves in the penalty shootout go in with real conviction.

01:13:34And this is the one, I think, for the winning penalty save.

01:13:36Look how far he goes beyond the post.

01:13:38And once he saves it, the power that goes through it, it gets beyond the post.

01:13:44If you're going to go, go with conviction.

01:13:47And even Arthur Oconco went with conviction.

01:13:49It was brilliant.

01:13:50We love goalkeepers, don't we, Dion?

01:13:51Yeah.

01:13:52Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:13:52I think so.

01:13:53I think so.

01:13:55But also, Danny Ward is coming back into contention.

01:13:57He got injured in August.

01:13:59Big money signing, of course.

01:14:00And he's coming back.

01:14:01So, in many ways, things are happening for Wrexham in the Cup and also in the league.

01:14:04I mean, they could make the Premier League.

01:14:06This story is incredible.

01:14:07Should be turned into some sort of documentary.

01:14:09It keeps on rolling and rolling.

01:14:12Ryan Reynolds enjoyed it.

01:14:13I was in Wrexham just before Christmas and they were telling me what it's done for the town.

01:14:17It's absolutely incredible.

01:14:19Oh, it's great.

01:14:21My two best mates were there at the game in a box below Ryan Reynolds and they kept looking

01:14:26up and every time they looked up, he was dancing and then he had his sunglasses on and he was

01:14:30hugging people.

01:14:31Then he would have a costume change and then he's got his, you know, and he just seemed

01:14:35to enjoy himself.

01:14:37He seems to, he's invested in this.

01:14:39You know, he's really involved in getting this team to as high as they possibly can, to

01:14:45achieve as much as they possibly can.

01:14:47And look at him, he's, you know, he's, he's, he's animated and all the fans can see him

01:14:52doing it.

01:14:53And Dion, you make a great point there.

01:14:54You know, he's invested in it, not just financially, but you can see what him and Rob have done.

01:14:58They've done it emotionally.

01:14:59They're very much in the football club and in the town, Rob.

01:15:02It makes them feel alive and they're just like any other fan.

01:15:05They're there living it.

01:15:06Absolutely.

01:15:06Living the dream.

01:15:07Thank you very much indeed.

01:15:09All right.

01:15:10Heading into this weekend, neither Everton or Sunderland had won a match in 2026.

01:15:14Could the Cup provide a fresh start?

01:15:16Commentary from Simon Grayson and Daniel Mann.

01:15:23An all-Premier League tie full of intrigue.

01:15:29And Tarkovsky does make the first contact.

01:15:31Armstrong!

01:15:33Armstrong just doesn't get his body and his knee over the ball and slices over the top

01:15:38with a big opportunity for Everton.

01:15:43Long throw could be a route to success.

01:15:46It's been on a few occasions.

01:15:48Well, not dealt with great conviction.

01:15:50Le Fay!

01:15:52Well, he takes full advantage.

01:15:54And Sunderland have won in this third round tie.

01:15:59Everton didn't deal well enough with the long throw in, but Technothic away from Le Fay.

01:16:04Yeah, that's a fantastic finish on the volley.

01:16:06Side-footed as well.

01:16:09Sunderland in good voice in the stands and in a terrific position on the pitch.

01:16:16Shaka's corner of Le Fay arriving on the near post.

01:16:19Just peaked into it.

01:16:20Spectacular!

01:16:21And Pickford able to make the save to deny Mukele.

01:16:25Well, it's an unbelievable overhead kick, and Pickford gets across really quickly.

01:16:32Garner negotiating the situation neatly in tight space, but Serkin first to show.

01:16:38Mundell coming inside!

01:16:40And Pickford flying across again.

01:16:45Shows the capabilities, and why is England number one's goalkeeper?

01:16:49By getting across and having a strong left hand.

01:16:54Here's MacNeil.

01:16:56Armstrong.

01:16:58Through one challenge.

01:17:01Patterson to hang it up.

01:17:02Beto, was he impeded?

01:17:05Was there a tug of the shirt?

01:17:10Beto's looking for it.

01:17:11Both holding on to each other.

01:17:13I think Beto's got hold of Trahulme's shirt as well.

01:17:20This is Asnu's first involvement.

01:17:23A chance to rein one in with a left foot, and it could have been very inviting, but Granit Xhaka

01:17:27with some brilliant positioning.

01:17:28We'll look at the drive and determination from the debutant here.

01:17:31Asnu goes down.

01:17:33Once a penalty, he'll get it.

01:17:43James Garner accepts the weighty responsibility to try and keep Everton in the FA Cup.

01:17:51And he's more than up to it.

01:17:53Well, Sunderland will howl long into the night with some justification about the merits of that decision.

01:18:01But James Garner not worrying about that, and producing the kind of coolness that's now customary.

01:18:13Maybe a little sign of tiredness there from Sunderland.

01:18:16It's Tieno Barry.

01:18:18And he's found Beto.

01:18:21And Beto only finds the side netting.

01:18:31Sunderland looking bright.

01:18:33Is it all feeding Hulme?

01:18:35Le Fay's up with him.

01:18:40Xhaka on his favoured foot.

01:18:43And Tarkovsky in the way this time.

01:18:50So, James Garner.

01:18:54Robin Roofs makes the save.

01:19:00So it's Enzo Le Fay.

01:19:05No doubts, no dramas.

01:19:07Pickford guesses right.

01:19:10Massive presence of Roofs in front of him.

01:19:12And Roofs is turning in to Sunderland's hero.

01:19:18And a tale of regret for Tieno Barry.

01:19:23Granit Xhaka.

01:19:25And spot on.

01:19:28Pickford barely had time to register that it had been taken.

01:19:33Well, one striker fails.

01:19:36Well, one striker fails.

01:19:37Another needs to score.

01:19:39And Beto doesn't score.

01:19:41And Sunderland a one kick away.

01:19:47But one of Sunderland's great characters has a chance to win this FA Cup tie.

01:19:54Against one of Sunderland's greatest products.

01:19:59And he does.

01:20:00And you couldn't win it any more emphatically than that.

01:20:05And it's a day of triumph for the Black Cats in the FA Cup.

01:20:11Before the penalties went, the goalkeeper coach comes to me.

01:20:14He shows me a little bit where they expect him to shoot.

01:20:18What is their preferred side.

01:20:20Which food they are.

01:20:21I think if you save three penalties out of three.

01:20:24I don't want to call it a hero.

01:20:26Because I could have been a hero if I saved it in the game.

01:20:28But no, it's a nice way to help the team.

01:20:32Rob, I promise you we will praise the goalkeeping in just a moment.

01:20:35And after we just tidy up the penalty for Everton.

01:20:38What are you thinking, Dion?

01:20:38The no penalty.

01:20:41Yeah, Hume on Asnu here.

01:20:44I mean, Asnu puts a cross.

01:20:46And then he goes to retrieve it again.

01:20:47He gets involved in the tackle.

01:20:49And then there's a little bit of contact right there.

01:20:52I don't know what the referee's seen.

01:20:54It's just shoulder to shoulder.

01:20:56It's never, ever a penalty.

01:20:59If there was a VAR, they would have, you know, taken it away.

01:21:03It's just really, really poor refereeing.

01:21:06And Xhaka's not happy.

01:21:07Not happy at all.

01:21:08As you can see.

01:21:09Yeah, that cup was never seen again.

01:21:11No.

01:21:12In pieces.

01:21:13Let's talk about Rob.

01:21:14He's having a great season, isn't he, Rob?

01:21:15Yeah, brilliant.

01:21:16So composed, so calm.

01:21:17And he was so calm in these penalties as well.

01:21:19And so he's just having a chat with the goalkeeper, Kosuke Cutler.

01:21:22And he's just having to know where they've been.

01:21:24But he had a little hand up before.

01:21:26Because he'd already faced one of the penalty takers.

01:21:28And the thing is, when the guys are walking up and doing this slow motion,

01:21:32you've got to wait.

01:21:34You've got to wait for them to move, to blink first, basically.

01:21:38And that's what he does.

01:21:39And they're terrible penalties.

01:21:41That one and Beto's are really poor penalties.

01:21:43But he's waiting and making them be poor penalties.

01:21:46Because he's just keeping his calm, keeping his nerve.

01:21:50Great goalkeeper.

01:21:51Brilliant stuff.

01:21:51Right, finally, all the goals from the seven other third-round ties

01:21:55played across Friday and today.

01:21:59Championship promotion contenders clashed at the Bet365 Stadium,

01:22:03with Stoke City fans hoping their team could exploit the leaders'

01:22:06Coventry City's recent stuttering form.

01:22:08Coventry famously won this trophy in 1987,

01:22:12knocking out Stoke en route to the final.

01:22:14They struck the post twice in the space of seven minutes

01:22:17after their marked improvement following the interval.

01:22:20First, Haji Wright's header came back off the woodwork with the goal gaping.

01:22:24Then Jack Rodoni's deflected effort clipped defender Ashley Phillips' leg

01:22:28before meeting a similar fate.

01:22:31Frank Lampard's Sky Blues would rue those missed opportunities.

01:22:35Cissé!

01:22:38Astonishing!

01:22:40Again, screaming out for a goal!

01:22:43Has just had one of the highest quality!

01:22:47Progress for Mark Robbins in the Cup

01:22:49and revenge for their narrow defeat in the league in November.

01:22:54These two sides will hope to be in the Championship promotion race this season.

01:22:58Plenty of changes for both of the two.

01:23:00Bristol City made fewer and started better.

01:23:03Inside two minutes, Emil Rees headed them in front.

01:23:07Compared to Watford, City have been inconsistent in the league,

01:23:10but it was all in sync here.

01:23:12This time, Rees spotted Anis Mehmeti, who made it two.

01:23:16It was one of those days when everything came off for City.

01:23:19Scott Twine sent in a cross, which Rob Atkinson got to

01:23:22before the Watford keeper.

01:23:243-0.

01:23:24And two minutes later, they were in again.

01:23:27How's this for a pass from Neto Borgias?

01:23:29Rees did the rest.

01:23:31That was four.

01:23:32Watford had largely been spectators at this point.

01:23:35They did belatedly get involved.

01:23:37Jack Greaves with a goal that barely qualified as a consolation

01:23:40because the Robins weren't done yet.

01:23:46Murphy.

01:23:46What a lovely ball.

01:23:48Chance for a hat-trick here.

01:23:49Rees keeps his feet.

01:23:50Keeps his composure.

01:23:52His best of the lot.

01:23:545-1.

01:23:55Bristol City swagger through.

01:23:58Ipswich Town and Blackpool have met just once before in the FA Cup,

01:24:02which ended in a 2-1 victory for the Tractor Boys back in 2010.

01:24:06Kieran McKenna made seven changes from their last league outing,

01:24:09but understandably stuck with top scorer Jadon Filagene,

01:24:12who responded with a quality finish to open the scoring.

01:24:16Filagene!

01:24:17And the Championship's I'd leave!

01:24:20The home team were dominant throughout with over 70% possession

01:24:23and 31 attempts on goal,

01:24:25but they were unable to add a second until three minutes from time.

01:24:29Jacob Greaves headed in from a corner.

01:24:33Six minutes into injury time, Blackpool won a penalty.

01:24:39Ashley Fletcher's spot-kick was a mere consolation.

01:24:48It was decidedly January in Cambridge.

01:24:51There's a cut tie over there somewhere.

01:24:54And Birmingham City began brightly in the murk.

01:24:57First they tried to craft it,

01:24:59and then Kai Wagner decided to blast it.

01:25:03His first goal in just his second game

01:25:05since joining from Philadelphia Union.

01:25:08League 2 Cambridge United hadn't lost at home since September.

01:25:12They're 11 unbeaten here,

01:25:14but Birmingham caught them on their heels.

01:25:16Kyoko Furuhashi had only scored once since joining the Blues,

01:25:19but this is the kind of finish Celtic fans remember him for.

01:25:23Cambridge offered Birmingham more charity in the second half,

01:25:26so much space for Marvin Dutch to score City's third.

01:25:30And it seemed that would be that.

01:25:32But the U's, 40 places below the Blues,

01:25:35decided to make things interesting.

01:25:37In the 80th minute,

01:25:38Salai Kaikai got one back.

01:25:40And as the clock ticked towards 90,

01:25:43the fourth-tier side hoisted one high.

01:25:45Thing's not over yet.

01:25:46It is a deep one.

01:25:47And Kyoko!

01:25:48It is 32!

01:25:50But Cambridge had left it a little too late.

01:25:54MK dons and Oxford United players

01:25:56don George Baldock Foundation T-shirts

01:25:58before their poignant FA Cup third-round tie.

01:26:01The former defender, who graced both clubs,

01:26:04tragically drowned 15 months ago.

01:26:06Oxford's new boss, Matt Bloomfield,

01:26:08watching from the stands,

01:26:09got an insight into what lies ahead

01:26:11as the Championship's strugglers

01:26:12deservedly fell behind.

01:26:17After Aaron Collins' opener,

01:26:19Will Lancashire equalised for Oxford

01:26:21early in the second half.

01:26:22Injury time couldn't settle it,

01:26:24and after Jonathan Leaco's wayward spot kick,

01:26:27the visitors took full advantage in the shoot-out.

01:26:30Have to find the back of the net here.

01:26:34And he has it!

01:26:35And it's Matt Ingram sending the ewes

01:26:39into the fourth round of the FA Cup.

01:26:44It is, believe it or not,

01:26:46nearly 13 years since Wigan Athletic's FA Cup triumph.

01:26:50Much has happened since to the Latics.

01:26:52For teenager Harrison Bertone,

01:26:53that's most of his lifetime.

01:26:55Time, perhaps, to make new Cup memories.

01:26:59Bertone.

01:27:01Cuts in.

01:27:02There's a deflection!

01:27:03And it's in!

01:27:051-0 up against Championship Preston North End,

01:27:07and now Wigan of the division below

01:27:09had a chance for another.

01:27:11Penalty.

01:27:12Wigan had got through both previous rounds

01:27:15in shoot-outs.

01:27:16Callum Wright could settle it.

01:27:18Anxious times now for Wright and for Wigan.

01:27:22Preston with the last attack of the match.

01:27:24Alfie Devine's header,

01:27:25Sam Tickle's remarkable save.

01:27:28And had Brad parts equalised.

01:27:31Offside.

01:27:32Wigan's Cup run goes on.

01:27:36Hats off to the Vale Park ground staff

01:27:39for ensuring this tie went ahead.

01:27:41Hats on for those braving the weather

01:27:42at the first FA Cup meeting

01:27:44between Port Vale and Fleetwood.

01:27:46The home side took the lead

01:27:47in first-half stoppage time.

01:27:50And Cole is driving into the penalty box.

01:27:52He squares it.

01:27:54Brilliant opening goal!

01:27:55Port Vale going to the fourth round

01:27:56for the first time since 2014

01:27:58and the new boss, John Brady.

01:28:02And good luck to John in his new job.

01:28:04Thanks to Patrick Geary and Damian Johnson
