The National League South side produced an almighty upset to knock out Championship promotion hopefuls Ipswich Town, becoming the first team from the sixth tier of English football to reach the FA Cup fifth round since Blyth Spartans way back in 1978!

Afraid to say there might be a delay to the draw… West Brom vs Wolves stopped due to crowd trouble at The Hawthorns, with Wolves 2-0 up in the Black Country derby with eight minutes to go.

Back to those fourth round headlines…

2021/22 winners Leicester City are also through. They cruised past fellow Championship side Birmingham City 3-0.

And three more Premier League teams are definitely through: Luton, Brighton and Newcastle all notched away wins over other top-flight sides on Saturday.

But we’ll need a few replays to complete the fifth round line-up!

Bristol City and Nottingham Forest, Chelsea and Aston Villa, Sheffield Wednesday and Coventry, and Leeds and Plymouth will have to try again after draws.

Still to come!

And there are still a few more fourth round ties to be played, the highlights being Liverpool’s home clash with Norwich – Jurgen Klopp’s first game since announcing his decision to step down at the end of the season – and Manchester United’s trip to League Two Newport County.
