Ronaldo misses penalty & Man Utd crash out of FA Cup

Chelsea have been drawn away to Luton Town in the FA Cup fifth round while Manchester City will visit Peterborough as many of the big Premier League sides avoided each other. The Blues needed late penalty heroics from goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga to edge past Plymouth Argyle at Stamford Bridge, and face a trip to Luton after they ended Cambridge’s run.

Peterborough, also of the Championship, defeated QPR and will host Premier League leaders City after Pep Guardiola’s side brushed aside Fulham at the Etihad Stadium. Middlesbrough's reward for their penalty shoot-out victory over Manchester United on Friday is a home tie against Antonio Conte’s Tottenham while Southampton’s home fixture against West Ham is an all-Premier League clash, although Liverpool will face Norwich if they defeat Cardiff on Sunday.

Boreham Wood, who face Bournemouth on Sunday night, would face a trip to Frank Lampard’s Everton should the non-league side reach the fifth round.

Follow live updates and fixture news from the fifth round draw below, before Liverpool vs Cardiff City in the first game of the day:

GOAL! Liverpool 3 - 0 Cardiff (Elliott, 76’)⚽️

76 mins: What a finish this is! Diogo Jota works the ball into the box from the right but it bounces through to Andy Robertson on the opposite wing. He flicks a cross back into the middle, Mark McGuinness slips which allows Harvey Elliott to bring the ball down with his first touch and the smoke the ball into the back of the net on the turn with his second.

That’s his first goal for Liverpool and he’s sent his team into the fifth round for sure.

GOAL! Liverpool 2 - 0 Cardiff (Minamino, 68’)⚽️

64 mins: Liverpool are in total control of the game. They’ve got their noses in front and are content with keeping the ball. There’s slow build-up play as they pass it around the midfield. Jordan Henderson threads a pass up to Diogo Jota who attempts to play it wide for Trent Alexander-Arnold but has the pass intercepted.

Liverpool 1 - 0 Cardiff

56 mins: Chance! Liverpool almost double their lead with another header. Kostas Tsimikas finds a couple of yards of space on the left wing and floats a decent cross into the six-yard box.

GOAL! Liverpool 1 - 0 Cardiff (Jota, 53’)⚽️

53 mins: Lovely goal from Liverpool! Will Vaulks is the most recent player to pick up a yellow card as he brings down Takumi Minamino on the inside right channel. Trent Alexander-Arnold curls the free kick into the box and picks out Diogo Jota. He jumps above everyone else, meets the ball in the air and guides a fine header into the far bottom corner!
