      Sunday afternoon’s full time results
      Final whistles have been blown, and here’s how Sunday’s games have finished:

      Cardiff 1-1 Preston (extra-time being played)
      Charlton 0-1 Norwich
      Liverpool 4-1 Shrewsbury
      Stoke 2-0 Leyton Orient
      Spurs 3-1 Morecambe
      West Ham 2-0 Leeds
      Wolves 3-0 Sheff Utd

      And a result from earlier today:

      Luton 4-0 Harrogate

      There’s still one game to come:

      Nott’m Forest v Arsenal (5.10pm)

      Goal! – West Ham 2-0 Leeds
      90+3. On the break, Jarrod Bowen seals this tie and cements West Ham’s place in the fourth round draw.
      Leeds had committed men forward in pursuit of an equaliser, and when the ball broke for the Hammers, the goal seemed inevitable.
      Michail Antonio fed Bowen on the left, and the in-form forward calmly slipped under Illan Meslier.

      Goal! – Liverpool 4-1 Shrewsbury
      90+3. Deep into injury time, and Fabinho adds some gloss to the scoreline with his second of the afternoon.
      Goal! – Stoke 2-0 Leyton Orient
      88. A goal at the end of the first half, a goal at the end of the second half, and Stoke have killed off League Two Leyton Orient.
      Tyrese Campbell is the man on target for Michael O’Neill’s side. The Potters were FA Cup runners-up in 2011.
      West Ham 1-0 Leeds
      88. An opportunity for Daniel James to equalise!
      Harrison’s cross from the left evades Dawson, only to clatter into the Welshman four yards from goal. He knew little about it, unable to react in time.
      Goal! Spurs 3-1 Morecambe
      87. A third goal in 13 minutes, and Tottenham have put this one to bed.
      It’s been a great effort from the League One minnows, but their tired legs and minds have certainly shown in the closing stages.
      Greg Leigh is caught out by his own corner flag, a cross is played into the feet of Harry Kane, and the England captain swivels smartly to find the far corner with ease.

      Goal! Spurs 2-1 Morecambe
      85. Lucas Moura breaks Morecambe hearts!
      Ryan McLaughlin makes an awful mess of controlling a pass on the halfway line, and quickly finds himself dispossessed by Moura, who has the whole half to run into.
      The Brazilian keeps his cool as he approaches Trevor Carson, skips around the goalkeeper and slides the ball into the empty net.

      Goal! Wolves 3-0 Sheff Utd
      80. The Old Gold have a third, and Daniel Podence has his second!
      Goal! – Charlton 0-1 Norwich
      79. Are we heading for the most rarest of things, a Norwich win? Milot Rashica has the Canaries ahead at the Valley. It could be the biggest cup shock of all.
      Goal! – Liverpool 3-1 Shrewsbury
      78. Roberto Firmino’s cheeky backheel finally kills off battling Shrewsbury.
      Goal! – Wolves 2-0 Sheff Utd
      72. Nelson Semedo settles this tie at Molineux!
      Goal! – Spurs 1-1 Morecambe
      74. Harry Winks equalises for Spurs by doing what he does best – scoring crosses!
      The midfielder took charge when the Premier League side won a set-piece on the far touchline, out towards the corner flag, and curled a vicious ball into the danger area.
      Morecambe goalkeeper Trevor Carson took a step forward, misjudging the flight of the ball, and before he could get back, it was too late. The ball nestled in the top corner and Spurs are finally on level terms.
      West Ham 1-0 Leeds
      70. There’s not much happening in ITV’s stellar live game, but Junior Firpo has just limped from the field and is replaced by Cody Drameh.
      Another injury is not what Marcelo Bielsa needs right now.
      Spurs 0-1 Morecambe
      69. The fans are revolting at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium!
      Antonio Conte finally turns to his subs and decides on a triple change that introduces Harry Kane, Lucas Moura and Oliver Skipp to the action.
      It’s a move that is initially encouraged by the home support, and the departing Dele Alli and Bryan Gil get a decent reception as they depart.
      However, Tanguy Ndombele is the third player to be withdrawn, and he moves so slowly from the field that the Spurs fans turn on him with a chorus of boos.
      Ndombele looks unimpressed, and heads straight down the tunnel. It’s one of those where you’d be surprised to see him in a Tottenham shirt again.
      Liverpool 2-1 Shrewsbury
      64. Antonio Conte may not have turned to the bench yet but Jurgen Klopp has.
      The Liverpool boss had already introduced Takumi Minamino, and now calls upon Roberto Firmino, who replaces Elijah Dixon-Bonner.
      The Reds are still yet to put this tie to bed.
      Spurs 0-1 Morecambe
      57. There’s been no immediate response in the second half from Tottenham despite all their possession.
      Antonio Conte didn’t make any substitutions at the break, but did opt to swap the sides of wingbacks Doherty and Sessegnon.
      Meanwhile, former Spurs academy product Jonathan Obika has come on for Morecambe.
      Goal! Cardiff 1-1 Preston
      54. Preston are level in Wales thanks to Daniel Johnson’s penalty.
      The North End forward converts past Dillon Phillips after Sean Maguire was brought down by Ciaron Brown.
      Only six places separate these sides in the Championship, and there’s almost nothing between them once again.
      FA Cup games back underway
      The seven 2pm games are all back underway now, and there is plenty of fotoball still to be played.
      Remember, these ties must be settled today so extra-time and penalties will be used if necessary.
      Half-time in the 2pm games
      All seven two o’clock games are finely poised at the break, especially in North London where the FA Cup giantkilling is a real possibility.

      Cardiff 1-0 Preston
      Charlton 0-0 Norwich
      Liverpool 2-1 Shrewsbury
      Stoke 1-0 Leyton Orient
      Spurs 0-1 Morecambe
      West Ham 1-0 Leeds
      Wolves 1-0 Sheff Utd

      And a full time score from earlier today.

      Luton 4-0 Harrogate

      Goal! – Liverpool 2-1 Shrewsbury
      44. Liverpool have turned it around before half-time at Anfield.
      Fabinho is on target from the penalty spot, sending Marko Marosi the wrong way, following a preposterous handball from Ethan Ebanks-Landell.
      The Shrewsbury captain inexplicably handballed when flicking a free-kick away from Virgil van Dijk’s direction.

      Goal! – Cardiff 1-0 Preston
      42. Isaak Davies has Cardiff ahead in the all Championship affair in South Wales.
      The 20-year-old forward takes advantage of a mistake in the Preston defence to embark on a fine solo run off the left wing before plundering a shot through the legs of Daniel Iversen.
      The players celebrate but the fans don’t as games in Wales are currently being played behind closed doors.
      Goal! – Stoke 1-0 Leyton Orient
      43. Stoke City breakthrough just before the break with a familiar name on the scoresheet.
      James Chester begins the move, finding Alfie Doughty with a long range pass. The midfielder chests down, plays the ball on, and there’s Tom Ince to beat Lawrence Vigouroux in the Leyton Orient goal.
      Goal! – West Ham 1-0 Leeds
      34. The deadlock is broken at the London Stadium thanks to Manuel Lanzini – but nobody is really bothered by this all Premier League contest other than ITV.
      In fact, the goal is only notable for the huge scramble prior to Lanzini converting, and then the lengthy VAR check that takes place in the aftermath.
      Eventually word comes through to Stuart Atwell that the goal should count, and the Hammers move in front.

      Goal! – Liverpool 1-1 Shrewsbury
      34. Shrewsbury’s joy didn’t last for long! Young Kaide Gordon has levelled it up at Anfield!
      Gordon takes control of Conor Bradley’s pass, and the curls calmly beyond Marosi in front of the Kop.
      The 17-year-old becomes Liverpool’s second-youngest ever goalscorer behind Ben Woodburn; Michael Owen is third.
      Goal! – Spurs 0-1 Morecambe
      33. And now Morecambe lead at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium!
      Spurs’ defending has left plenty to be desired so far, and that’s certainly the case at this Morecambe corner.
      Japhet Tanganga is the guilty party here, failing to track Anthony O’Connor’s run, and allowing the defender to poke past Pierluigi Gollini from close range.
      The Shrimps celebrate!

      Shock of the round so far
      Joe Ironside gatecrashed Kieran Trippier’s party as League One Cambridge dumped Premier League Newcastle out of the FA Cup at St James’ Park.
      The England full-back was handed a Magpies debut in the third-round tie a day after completing his move from Atletico Madrid, but celebrations over his arrival turned sour as Cambridge heaped further misery on Eddie Howe’s relegation-threatened side.
      Ironside made the most of some less than effective defending to score the game’s only goal with 56 minutes gone.
      Newcastle, who had earlier seen Fabian Schar and Jacob Murphy strikes correctly ruled out for offside, were unable to muster an effective response in front of a bumper crowd of 51,395.
      Newcastle legend Alan Shearer blasted the performance as ‘pathetic’.
      Gary Lineker posted a picture of the angry-looking Shearer to Twitter, who was trying to prepare himself for the BBC’s coverage of Hull vs Everton. Shearer responded to the pic saying: “Well done Cambridge. Pathetic NUFC.”

      Good afternoon football fans
      Welcome to SunSport’s coverage of the FA Cup fourth round draw.
      It has already been a cracking weekend of Cupset action, with Newcastle stunned by minnows Cambridge United on Saturday at St James’ Park.
      Elsewhere there have been wins for Kidderminster against Reading and Huddersfield at Burnley.
      Meanwhile, big boys Manchester City and Chelsea are already in the fourth round.
      They hope to be joined by Liverpool, who are currently beating Shrewsbury Town and Tottenham, who are tied with Morecambe at Spurs Stadium.
      Arsenal play Nottingham Forest at the City Ground this evening and Manchester United host Aston Villa on Monday.
      Either way, the magic of the Cup is still alive and well in England, despite all the Covid confusion, the lack of replays and star names departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.
      Expect the draw to get going after the conclusion of West Ham’s clash with Leeds at the London Stadium.
      That game is currently 1-0 to Wet Ham with 20 minutes to go.

      And sections of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium faithful voiced their discontent at the pair’s respective performances by booing them as they trudged off the pitch.
      Footy fans took to Twitter to discuss on the boos, with one saying: “Those boos at Ndombele and Dele were as bad as the Nuno they’re finished.”
      Another said: “Ndombele done at Spurs …. never heard the home crowd boo like that for a player getting subbed before.”
      And another said: “Now can people see why Ndombele is s**t and has to go, walking off that slowly when losing is Morecambe is a joke as well.
      “Deserved boos, worst signing in our history value-wise.”
      One remarked: “Ndombele back to Lyon.”

      While many watchers of the game agreed somewhat with the booing of Ndombele, several were perplexed by Alli being given pelters.
      One asked: “First cheers, then boos. Who/what are they booing? Alli off?”
      Another said: “Was that Dele Alli getting MASSIVE boos?”
      And another said: “The boos are outrageous I’ve never heard it so loud!!”
      One vehemently defended the England international, saying: “Dele Alli, played out of position and given no support, still came closest for spurs – was met with boos as he left the pitch.
      “Give your heads a wobble.”
      Spurs fans in attendance were angry as they’d seen their side fall behind to the League One minnows in the 33rd-minute.

      But their dispair turned to joy five minutes after Ndombele and Alli were hooked when Harry Winks put them on level terms.
      Antonio Conte’s decision to substitute Ndombele and Alli was vindicated in the 85th and 88th minute when subs Lucas Moura and Harry Kane found the back of the net to fire his side through to the fourth round.

      Why are Arsenal wearing an all-white kit against Nottingham Forest?

      by

      ARSENAL will take a stand against knife crime by donning an all WHITE kit for their FA Cup clash against Nottingham Forest.The bespoke shirt will kick off the club’s ‘No More Red’ campaign against youth violence in the capital.
      Arsenal will wear the unique all-white kit in a stand against knife crime
      The Gunners are linking up with kit sponsors adidas to build on work being done with young people by their Arsenal in the Community initiative.
      Megastar actor Idris Elba and club legend Ian Wright are onboard as mentors in the programme.
      Elba said: “From the time young people leave school, until the time they’re at home with family, there is often a void, a dangerous spike of nothing to do, where nothing can easily turn to something dangerous. 
      “If there continues to be no options for this after-school period, we will always see gangs form. Let’s create options for these young people.” 
      Wright added: “Every young person deserves the opportunity to express themselves. The opportunity to exist within a safe environment. The opportunity to live free from fear of violence. 
      “We can never accept loss of life through youth violence as ‘normal’ in our city and it’s so important that we all work together to create a better environment for young people.

      Inside Boreham Wood’s wild dressing-room celebrations as players sing ‘Teenage Dirtbag’ after shock FA Cup win

      by

      BOREHAM WOOD booked their place in the fourth round of the FA Cup with a 2-0 win over League One side AFC Wimbledon. Tyrone Marsh and substitute Adrian Clifton scored the goals for the non-league side to secure the win.

      Manager Luke Garrard happened to play for Wimbledon, making the victory even more sweeter.
      And the celebrations inside the dressing-room afterwards were WILD.
      The players and staff collectively sang Wheatus’ Teenage Dirtbag whilst spraying water and what looks like champagne on each other.
      Boss Gerrard said on the win: “I’m on top of the world.

      Dons boss Mark Robinson was far from happy with his young side.
      Robinson says some of his players ‘went off and did their own thing’, something he’ll have to pull them up on.
      On the defeat, Robinson said: “The last thing we needed was to concede an early goal.
      “They were really well organised and we didn’t have enough craft or guile to create enough, which is disappointing.
      “A few players went off and did their own thing, which can happen when you’re young and I need to talk to them about.
      “By contrast they’ve got experienced players, so they knew what they were doing.” More

      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.

      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.
      FA Cup fourth round draw
      Public service announcment!
      Once the tie between West Ham United and Leeds United on Sunday has come to a conclusion, the draw for the FA Cup fourth round will take place at Wembley Stadium at approximately 16:50pm UK time.
      Make sure to keep an eye on who is going up against who which we will be able to provide for you right here on SunSport.
      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. James Ward-ProwseBBCSport
      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.
