FA Cup third round LIVE SCORES: Hull 2-3 Everton EXTRA TIME, Swansea 2-3 Southampton ET, Cambridge BEAT Newcastle

That’s all for today folks!

They say that there is magic in the FA Cup and it was certainly proved today with some unexpected results happening across the board.

Chelsea, Brentford and the current holders Leicester Cityall beat their oppositions in a convincing manor although none of them were able to keep a clean sheet.

It took extra time for Everton, Southampton and Brighton to get past their lower league opponents.

However the biggest talking points of the day were at Turf Moor where Championship side Huddersfield overcame a one goal deficit to beat Burnley 2-1.

And money bags Newcastle United with their new big signing of Kieran Trippier from Atletico Madrid were beaten by League TWO outfit Cambridge United at St.James’ Park. What a story that was.

Thanks for sticking around with me for the whole day people, it was a long one but exciting nevertheless. Plenty more action to come on our blog tomorrow.

Final results from all fixtures

Regulations for any Covid outbreaks

Thankfully, there hasn’t been any postponements in the 31 FA Cup fixtures scheduled for this weekend so far but the FA have laid down the law in regards to any Coronavirus concerns within a camp.

They stated that if a team feels that they are ineligible to field a side then it must be reported to the FA immediately where the case will then be referred to the Professional Game Board for consideration.

However, the FA expects every club to field their strongest possible side and there will not be a specific registered list for a team to choose from meaning that clubs have the ability to pick anybody who is listed as a player in the ranks including under-19’s or under-23’s.

In terms of testing, each club is required to make all members of the squad take a lateral flow test 24 hours before the match and a second test no later than five hours before kick-off.

Ready for Rafa to go

However certain fans of the club are still not happy with the performances of Everton and have made their message clear on what they think of the current manager Rafa Benitez.

Full time – Hull 2-3 Everton

The Tigers took Everton all the way to extra time in what was a hard fought effort by them, but a moment of magic from Andros Townsend enabled the Toffees to progress to the fourth round.

Full time – Birmingham 0-1 Plymouth

The League One side have caused another FA Cup upset as they hold on to beat 10-man Championship side Birmingham on their own turf.

Ward-Prowse’ post match thoughts

Man of the match and skipper James Ward-Prowse not only had a fantastic game but it was his cross which led to Shane Long grabbing the winner.

Here is some of what he had to say.

Yes it was tough. I think we had a really good start in the game, got ahead with a really well taken goal but the second half changed the game.

We had to adapt to a typical cup tie; back and forth but credit to the lads because we stuck in together against a good team that play good football and who were unlucky at times.

I think we really deserved the win.

Full time – Swansea 2-3 Southampton

The ten men of Southampton have got themselves over the line as they scrape a 3-2 victory against Championship side Swansea.

Their Premier League class really showed.

Extra time – Swansea 2-3 Southampton

120. Into the dying minutes now for Swansea. They are running out of time to get the equaliser which will enable them to stay in the cup.

The Saints have given everything.

Extra time – Birmingham 0-1 Plymouth

115. Meanwhile at St.Andrews, Plymouth Argyle are five minutes away from another FA cup upset today as they lead Birmingham City by a goal to nil.

Can they do it?

Extra time – Hull 2-3 Everton

113. The visitors are doing so well to keep Hull at bay and they are really showing their Premier League status with the way they are managing this came.

Once Everton regain possession, they are just popping it around, running down the clock and frustrating the life out of Hull.

Extra time – Swansea 2-3 Southampton – What a block!

112. Ralph Hasenhuttl’s plan was almost executed to perfection when the Saints hit Swansea on the break through Shane Long.

The forward managed to drive all the way into the hosts’ box before picking out Mohamed Elyounoussi at the back-post but Ryan Bennett threw his body in harms way to stop the cross.

Extra time – Swansea 2-3 Southampton

109. The Swans are in control of if not all then at least 99% of the possession as they seek to find an equaliser.

With a man down, Southampton are leaving all men behind the ball and are hoping for a counter to put this game to bed.

It’s a risky tactic but it just might work.

Full time – Yeovil 1-3 Bournemouth

The Cherries got given a run for their money during certain periods of the game but overall, it was a comfortable evening for the Championship side.

Goal! The Pilgrims have started their journey!

Ryan Law took matters into his own hands when the left-back decided to drive at the Birmingham defence before smashing the ball home past Neli Etheridge.

Fantastic finish from Law but will it be enough?

Birmingham 0-1 Plymouth

Extra time – Birmingham 0-0 Plymouth

104. The only game which still awaits a goal is the encounter between these two but they are both giving it everything they have.

However, the hosts are looking very tired having played so much of the game with a man light.

Goal! It’s all going off as Everton lead again!

Andros Townsend hit his annual screamer from distance to put the Toffees ahead for the second time this game.

Over to you Hull City.

Hull 2-3 Everton

Goal! The Saints go marching on!

Just as Ralph Hasenhuttl’s men looked down and out James Ward Prowse orchestrates a delightful cross for Shane Long to get on the end of.

What a turnaround from the ten-men visitors.

Swansea 2-3 Southampton

Goal! My word what a game!

They say you are most vulnerable when you score and that is exactly what has happened here.

Mohamed Elyounoussi has gone right up the other end and score from the kick-off.

Swansea 2-2 Southampton

Goal! Its ugly but they all count!

Ryan Manning crossed it to Olivier Ntcham who’s square ball took a wicked deflection and span past Fraser Forster in between the Saints sticks.

Swansea 2-1 Southampton

Extra time – Swansea 1-1 Southampton

91. The Saints have played over an hour of football with a man sent off which could take its toll on them especially playing against a side as comfortable in possession as Swansea.

This is shaping up to be intriguing.

Matches gone to extra time

Below are the fixtures which are heading to an extra 30 minutes because 90 minutes couldn’t separate them.

Birmingham 0-0 Plymouth

Hull City 2-2 Everton

Swansea City 1-1 Southampton

Full time – Chelsea 5-1 Chesterfield

An expected convincing victory in the end for the boys in blue but Chesterfield can go home with their heads held high knowing that they scored against the champions of Europe.

Goal! That should be that!

A second hat-trick of the day has been completed by Emiliano Marcondes in the strip of Bournemouth who has surely secured a fourth round spot for his side.

Jamal Lowe’s shot was initially parried out by Dillion Barnes but it fell to the feet of Marcondes who had a six-yard tap in.
