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.
