FA Cup scores LIVE: Man City cruise through, Everton win Lampard’s first game and Chelsea survive scare
Frank Lampard begins life as Everton manager against Brentford, Man City host Fulham and Crystal Palace take on Hartlepool
It promises to be a wonderful weekend of FA Cup football with a number of fascinating fourth round ties.
West Ham broke the hearts of Kidderminster Harriers as they overcame the non-league side 2-1 thanks to last-gasp goals in normal and extra time. Defender Alex Penny put Kidderminster, who are third in the National League North, ahead in the 19th minute in front of a packed crowd at the 6,000-capacity Aggborough Stadium. Substitute Declan Rice spared West Ham a first-ever defeat by non-league opposition by equalising in the 91st minute. The match looked set to be decided on a penalty shootout after a largely uneventful extra period but Jarrod Bowen delivered another cruel twist when he bundled the ball home in the 120th minute to send West Ham into the fifth round.
Meanwhile Chelsea suffered an FA Cup fourth-round scare on Saturday when they had to come from behind and needed extra time and a penalty save to beat League One Plymouth Argyle 2-1 with goals from Spaniards Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso.
And there are several 3pm kick-offs: Crystal Palace vs Hartlepool; Everton vs Brentford; Huddersfield vs Barnsley; Man City vs Fulham; Peterborough vs QPR; Southampton vs Coventry; Stoke vs Wigan; Wolves vs Norwich.
Follow live minute-by-minute score and goal updates from all the cup ties below:
GOAL! Everton 4 - 1 Brentford (90+1, Townsend) ⚽️
90+1 mins: Andros Townsend sends Everton into the fifth round!
Wolves 0 - 1 Norwich
86 mins: John Ruddy keeps Wolves in the cup tie with an outstretched hand to deny Kieran Dowell. Norwich have the momentum though.
Huddersfield 1 - 0 Barnsley
84 mins: Huddersfield score again as Ollie Turton slots home from the back post but he’s miles offside and the goal gets chalked off. Still hope for Barnsley to get back into this game.
Huddersfield 1 - 0 Barnsley
82 mins: It’s just not falling for Barnsley. This game isn’t over yet, the visitors have been impressive in the second half but they haven’t been able to convert their chances. Time is running away from them. A goal now would surely secure another 30 minutes of play.
Southampton 1 - 1 Coventry
81 mins: As it stands this is the only 3pm kick off heading into extra-time. Southampton haven’t got going again since Martyn Waghorn’s chance on goal. Yan Valery has been booked and they’re trying to regain some momentum.
RED CARD!
Stoke 2 - 0 Wigan
74 mins: Things are going from bad to worse for Wigan Athletic. Midfielder Gwion Edwards collects two quickfire yellow cards and has been sent off! Wigan are down to 10-men and trail by two goals to nil.
Southampton 1 - 1 Coventry
75 mins: Great chance for Coventry City. Southampton have been pushing for a winning goal but a miscued backpass is latched upon by Martyn Waghorn but his effort can’t beat Willy Caballero!
Peterborough 2 - 0 QPR (Jones, 72’)⚽️
72 mins: Peterborough look to be heading through! Ricky-Jade Jones slots home to give the Posh some breathing room as they enter the last 20 minutes.
Huddersfield 1 - 0 Barnsley
69 mins: Huddersfield Town have had things go their way for most of the game but they’re being pegged back by Barnsley now. Carlton Morris curls a shot from range just wide of the far post.
GOAL! Stoke 2 - 0 Wigan (Brown, 62)⚽️
62 mins: Stoke have doubled their lead against Wigan. It has been a fairly equal contest between the two teams with Wigan enjoying their best spell of the game. Stoke win possession though and break on the counter, Jacob Brown drills a low shot at goal and it just sneaks underneath Jamie Jones.
