The 2024/25 FA Cup is wide open as it heads into the quarterfinal round.
Manchester City stayed in the hunt for a season-salvaging piece of silverware when they came from behind to beat Liverpool’s conquerors Plymouth Argyle 3-1. Cardiff City and Millwall were also Championship sides beaten away to Premier League opposition, falling at the expense of Aston Villa and Crystal Palace.
It means Preston North End remain as the lone non-Premier League representative, having claimed Lancashire bragging rights with a 3-0 win over Burnley. Bournemouth needed penalties to see off Wolves, while Brighton beat Newcastle 2-1 in extra time.
Fulham silenced the Old Trafford with a 4-3 victory on penalties over Manchester United. Bernd Leno was the Cottagers’ hero, saving from Victor Lindelof and Joshua Zirkzee after the match finished 1-1.
