FA Cup: Seven clubs reach quarter-finals after fifth-round upsets
Seven teams have secured places in the quarter-finals of the Emirates FA Cup following the fifth-round matches played on Sunday.
Championship side Southampton FC caused a major upset, defeating Premier League Fulham 1-0 at Craven Cottage. The decisive moment came in stoppage time when Finn Azaz was fouled by Joachim Andersen, leading to a penalty successfully converted by Ross Stewart.
Meanwhile, League One strugglers Port Vale FC stunned Premier League side Sunderland with a 1-0 win at Vale Park. Ben Waine’s 28th-minute strike sent the Valiants into the FA Cup quarter-finals for the first time in 72 years.
Already through from earlier ties were Arsenal FC, Chelsea FC, Manchester City FC, and Liverpool FC, who overcame Mansfield Town, Wrexham, Newcastle United, and Wolverhampton Wanderers respectively.
Leeds United FC also advanced after a convincing 3-0 victory over Championship side Norwich City.
The final fifth-round fixture will see West Ham United FC take on Brentford FC later today at 19:30 GMT, with the winner completing the quarter-final lineup.
