And the late equalizer from Sonny Perkins, the teenager coming off the bench means Leeds are another team in the draw and need a replay. Cardiff were denied, having led 2-0 at half-time. Another exciting tie.
Should Wolves be entirely in the draw? Their manager certainly thinks they were robbed.
Three non-championship teams in the draw. Wrexham are through, having won at Coventry, while Boreham Wood and Chesterfield need to win their third-round replays to join them in the fourth round. Will Wrexham pull a squad big enough for their owners to board a Lear Jet and come? We await such news.
Preamble
It was quite an FA Cup third round weekend, with some shocks coupled with a high-scoring storyline and decent fare throughout. Now, you might remember why those knockout competitions are so fun, right? And there’s still more to come, with City facing Chelsea straight after that, but first the fourth-round draw, taken from the One Show slot, which means we’re sight-deprived. of Tracey Ullman shooting the balls from the bag with Romesh Ranganathan.
Instead, Mark “Mark Chapman” Chapman will do the draw with Emile Heskey and Karen Bardsley, both former FA Cup winners.
