FA Cup third round: Newport stun Leicester as Manchester City put seven past Rotherham
Newport delivered a huge FA Cup shock at a rocking Rodney Parade to beat Leicester 2-1 and pile the pressure on Foxes manager Claude Puel.
County bridged a gap of 74 places on the league ladder after Jamille Matt's early header was cancelled out eight minutes from time, Rachid Ghezzal's thunderous leveller having seemingly spared the Premier League visitors.
But three minutes later Marc Albrighton handled Vashon Neufville's cross on the corner of the box and Padraig Amond stroked home the resulting penalty.
It was no less than Newport, 12th in Sky Bet League Two and with only one win in all competitions since the end of November, deserved and rekindled memories of their cup heroics from last season.
Elsewhere, Manchester City put seven past Rotherham, Fulham and Sheffield United were stunned by lower-league opposition, and there were dramatic wins for QPR and Millwall. Re-live it all in the live blog below:
Good afternoon and welcome to The Independent's FA Cup third round live blog, which features seven games at 2pm including Manchester City, Watford and Leeds United, before Newport County and Leicester City collide in the late kick-off.
Team news from the first seven matches is imminent, so stick with us for all the latest from around the grounds.
It was almost disaster for QPR as Tyler Roberts takes a shot from the edge of the box for Leeds and ball pounds into the left-hand post before rolling across goal hitting the right post and bouncing out.
They're not a team to be outdone as Man City find the woodwork as well. Kevin De Bruyne finding Gabriel Jesus on the far post before Jesus' header ricochets off the crossbar.
It felt like it was coming. Man City take the lead in their cup tie against Rotherham.
