Plymouth's Cup Sensation - Knocked Out Premier League Club

The favorites delivered the most across the board in the English FA Cup's third round on Saturday. With one clear exception. Premier League club Brentford fell at home to Plymouth with 0–1.

Morgan Whittaker is the match hero. He scored in the 82nd minute for the club that is struggling in the second division The Championship and recently fired manager Wayne Rooney.

Premier League-leading Liverpool had a pleasant afternoon, drawn as they were against Accrington Stanley, a bottom team in the fourth division.

Thrashing of City

Diogo Jota, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jayden Danns, and Federico Chiesa scored the goals in the 4–0 win. At the same time, 16-year-old Rio Ngumoha made his debut at Anfield and became the club's second-youngest debutant of all time.

Manchester City doubled the result at home against Salford. James McAtee had a very successful match and scored a hat-trick in the 8–0 thrashing. Jérémy Doku scored two of the goals.

Ruud van Nistelrooy won for only the second time since taking over as manager of Leicester at the beginning of December. It was the final straw – 6–2 against Queens Park Rangers.

Good day for the Swedes

Norwich had nothing to put up against Brighton – with national team midfielder Yasin Ayari in the starting lineup. The Premier League club won convincingly 4–0 away.

Anthony Elanga can also look forward to at least one more match in the FA Cup. His Nottingham beat Luton at home 2–0.

Viktor Johansson and his Stoke are also advancing after 2–1 in extra time away against Sunderland.

Sunday offers the top match Arsenal–Manchester United, while Newcastle takes on Bromley. However, it is doubtful whether form-strong national team striker Alexander Isak will start for Newcastle, due to the injury he sustained against Arsenal in the League Cup semifinal.
