      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.”

      When is the FA Cup fourth round draw?
      Funny you should ask that.

      This year’s FA Cup fourth round draw will take place on Sunday, January 9 – today.
      It will be made after West Ham face Leeds at the London Stadium.
      Kick-off in that game is at 2pm, so expect the draw around 4.30pm.
      David James and Leah Williamson will be on hand to draw the ties.

      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.

      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.
      Tottenham will be back in action on Wednesday night, hosting Chelsea for the second round of their Carabao Cup semi-final tie. More

      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.

      The all-white shirt won’t be available to buy – instead it will be awarded by Arsenal to people and organisations tackling the causes of youth violence.
      London saw more than 10,000 knife crime offences between June 2020 and June 2021.

      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.
      “I will enjoy tonight and the players will as well, but I don’t even know when the fourth round draw is.
      “I was really proud of them today. I know it’s a cliché but all I’m thinking about is playing Wealdstone on Tuesday.”

      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.

      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.

      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.

      It was a tough start to the game, always going in the air [the ball] fighting and at half-time we said we need to respond and show our fight and that is what we done in the second half.
      I think we just played, done what we know and our quality shone through.Michael OliseITVSport
