Cambridge United took the headlines in Saturday’s FA Cup 3rd round action, with the League One side dumping the Premier League’s Newcastle out of the competition at St James’ Park.
Joe Ironside scored the only goal of the game for the lower league visitors in the second half, while Newcastle were frustrated at the other end, especially in the first half, by goalkeeper Dimitar Mitov.
Elsewhere, in the FA Cup 3rd round, Chelsea had little trouble against Chesterfield of the National League, scoring five at Stamford Bridge on a comfortable evening in west London.
FA Cup Holders Leicester put Watford to the sword in their all-Premier League tie, which is more than could be said for Everton, who struggled against the Championship’s Hull and needed extra-time to ultimately edge a five-goal thriller.
