FA Cup third round - LIVE!
One of the most popular weekends in the English football calendar has arrived, with the third round of this season’s FA Cup up and running.
Manchester City became the first team to book their place in the fourth round by beating Swindon last night, and with replays eschewed this season, another 21 teams will have joined them by the end of the day.
Championship promotion hopefuls Fulham got their campaign underway with a win at Bristol City in one of six lunchtime kick-offs, which saw Hartlepool and Huddersfield shock Blackpool and Burnley respectively. Cambridge then dumped out top-flight Newcastle.
Brentford won at Port Vale to put their name in the hat for the next round. Watford were knocked out in an all-Premier League encounter against holder Leicester, while non-league Boreham Wood secured an upset victory against AFC Wimbledon.
