THE fate of teams the FA Cup fourth round has been revealed.
Round Three of the Cup played out from Friday through to tonight saw some major upsets.
That included the elimination of holders Crystal Palace by sixth-tier Macclesfield, as they knocked out the Eagles despite a 117-place chasm between them in the English football pyramid.
Wrexham also enjoyed a Hollywood script as they beat Nottingham Forest on penalties, while Manchester United – the second-most successful club in tournament history – were beaten by Brighton.
And while there were the magical giant-killings there were others who were crushed under the boot of the competition heavyweights.
Charlton were hit for five at The Valley by London rivals Chelsea, while Wolves kept up their unbeaten 2026 record by thrashing Shrewsbury 6-1, Burnley battered Millwall 5-1, Arsenal sunk Portsmouth 5-1 and Burton beat Boreham Wood 5-0.
But the biggest of the lot came at The Etihad as Manchester City scored TEN past League Two Exeter City, who only managed a single consolation goal in reply.
However, the 32 clubs who progressed into Round Four of the world’s oldest club competition have now learned who they will play on the weekend commencing Saturday, 14 February.
