Cardiff City, Everton and Fulham kicked off the third round of the FA Cup, all triumphing in Thursday night games. Aston Villa went winless in the Premier League battle the following night, demolishing West Ham United during Graham Potter’s first game in charge of the Irons.
Liverpool, who last won the competition in 2021/22, eased into the fourth round with their A 4-0 win over League Two side Accrington Stanley. Trent Alexander-Arnold starred after a difficult week at right-back and Federico Chiesa scored his first goal for the club.
Chelsea had a similar high-scoring win over their League Two rivals, beating Morecambe 5-0 at Stamford Bridge. Braces from Tosin Adarabioyo and Joao Felix ensured a convincing victory, and the Blues will be joined by Bournemouth, Leicester City, Brighton & Hove Albion and Nottingham Forest in the fourth round.
The biggest surprise of Saturday’s FA Cup games was Plymouth Argyle’s 1-0 away win at Brentford. Morgan Whittaker scored the winner in the Pilgrims’ final game before Miron Muslic took over from the recently sacked Wayne Rooney.
