⏪ Leeds progress to FA Cup quarter finals with easy win over Norwich | OneFootball

RESULTS:

Leeds go into the draw alongside Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea and surprise pair Port Vale and Southampton.

West Ham or Brentford will join them in the last eight tomorrow night.

FULL TIME!

Leeds make it to their first FA Cup quarter final since 2003 with a clinical display.

Three minutes of added time and three minutes left of Norwich's FA Cup campaign.

Nmecha almost gets his goal but the ball just goes wide with the aid of a deflection.

The German attacker has had a great game today.

GOAL! LEEDS SEAL IT!

Anton Stach breaks up play and charges forward, playing the ball to Nmecha.

The German does very well to find space and then find Piroe, who curls home a brilliant first-time left-footed finish into the bottom corner.

First goal of the season for last season's top scorer.

Amankwah Forson is on for Ali Ahmed in Norwich's fifth and final change.

It all feels a little late.

Leeds are easily managing this one out.

An attempted Norwich attack is cut out by Gudmundsson, whose had a fine display.

Nmecha forces the Norwich keeper into a save at the near post.

A third for Leeds here feels far more likely than Norwich getting back into this.

OFF THE BAR!

Joel Piroe almost ends the game with a brilliant strike from 25 yards out.

It beats Vladan Kovačević all ends up but bounces off the top of the bar.

Some effort.

Anton Stach, Jayden Bogle and Pascal Struijk are all on.

Sean Longstaff is going off after a fine day's work for the midfielder.

His goal is well worth checking out again.

Farke is making substitutes of his own with several first-choice players set to come on as he looks to close this game out.

25 minutes left here.

Two of the subs combine to almost get Norwich back into the game.

Mundle-Smith does very well to fashion an opening down the left but Slimane can't finish at the back post.

Ao Tanaka did well to get himself in front of the Leeds goal it must be added.

Philippe Clement makes three changes as the Norwich boss rolls the dice.

Jack Stacey, Anis Ben Slimane and Errol Mundle-Smith are on.

It's taken 56 minutes but Norwich finally have a shot on target.

Sadly for them and captain Kenny McLean, his shot goes straight at Lucas Perri.

Vladan Kovačević came on for Daniel Grimshaw in goal at half time.

Can he keep Leeds out?

BACK UNDERWAY!

Second half up and running at Elland Road.

The next goal here will decide whether we still have a cup tie.

HALF TIME!

Leeds two goals to the good and cruising into a first quarter-final in 23 years.

Can Norwich do anything to stop that?

That's the Swedish full-back's first goal for Leeds by the way.

GOAL! LEEDS DOUBLE THEIR LEAD!

Having played provider for the first goal, Gudmundsson scores the second.

It's a really well worked goal with lovely football from Ethan Ampadu, Longstaff and Nmecha seeing the ball go out to James.

His cross is blocked but only into the path of the full-back who smashes home.

Game over?

After opening the scoring, Longstaff goes into the book for a clumsy foul on Kenny McLean.

The Norwich man, coincidentally, is making his 300th appearance for the Canaries today.

GOAL! BRILLIANT OPENER FROM LEEDS!

It's been coming and it's now come in some style.

Gabriel Gudmundsson puts the ball into the box and Sean Longstaff controls and swivels before smashing home on the volley.

A fantastic goal and just what the game needed.

CLOSE!

Nmecha almost gets on the end of Dan James' cross into the box.

It's an excellent break from the Welsh winger and Leeds have picked it up here after the disallowed opener.

Grimshaw is down receiving treatment after the collision.

Could his day be done?

DISALLOWED GOAL FOR LEEDS!

Leeds think they've taken the lead but VAR ruins the fun for the home fans.

Grimshaw comes out to deal with a long ball but collides with a defender and Willy Gnonto. Lukas Nmecha is on hand to tap in the loose ball.

However, Gnonto is ruled to have handled the ball.

Big let off for the Norwich stand-in keeper.

With Leeds making so many changes from their first-choice side, there isn't a huge difference in quality here.

At least yet.

There's a minute's applause for Leeds fan Ella Lynch, who sadly passed away aged 10 from cancer in late-February.

A lovely touch.

The two sides are cancelling each other out here in the opening 10 minutes.

No chances of note yet.

Leeds are bossing possession to start with but Norwich are pressing high.

The Canaries come into the game in great form, having won five of their last six.

KICK OFF!

Underway at a loud Elland Road.

Farke was in charge of the Canaries the last time they made it past the fifth round and also won promotion to the Premier League twice in three seasons with the club.

They have not been in the top-flight since.

Perhaps understandably given their precarious position in the table, Leeds make nine changes to the side that lost to Sunderland during the week.

Only Gabriel Gudmundsson and Ethan Ampadu retain their places.

Daniel Grimshaw is in goal for Norwich in their only change as they look to put one over their former manager Daniel Farke.

We're 10 minutes away from kick off at Elland Road.

Leeds haven't been in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup since 2003 while Norwich were last in the last eight in 2019/20 when they lost to Manchester United behind closed doors.

FULL TIME

It's all over at Vale Park and League One's bottom side, who last reached the FA Cup's quarter final stage in 1954, have produced a true giant-killing!

CHANCE!

Substitute Andre Grey fires an effort that whistles just wide of Ellborg's righthand post

There's just six more minutes of added time for Port Vale to hold on. They're 57 places behind Sunderland in the English pyramid. What a result this could prove to be!

CHANCE!

Sunderland are finally showing signs of making a decent go of this tie as Gauci is forced into two really good stops in quick succession to deny Nilson Angulo and Dan Ballard

Melker Ellborg gets off lightly with a booking for a foul on George Hall as he bore down on goal. VAR took a look at the incident, which happened just outside the area, and the Sunderland goalkeeper is very lucky that it wasn't upgraded to a red card based on the replays

SECOND HALF

Sunderland get us back underway. Can they avoid a major cup upset?

HALF TIME

We've hit the interval at Vale Park and the hosts lead against Sunderland, thanks to a boyhood Newcastle fan of all people

CHANCE!

Sunderland should snatch a leveller after Joe Gauci is caught out by Habib Diarra, who beats him to the ball but can't steer the ball goalward

GOAL! Port Vale 1-0 Sunderland

We could be in for another shock this afternoon as the hosts take the lead through Ben Waine heading in from a corner

FULL TIME

It's all over at Craven Cottage and Southampton hold on for a famous victory

CHANCE! Port Vale 0-0 Sunderland

Luke O'Nein goes for an inexpliable backpass with Melker Ellborg off his line but the Sunderland stopper produces an incredible header to clear it

GOAL! Fulham 0-1 Southampton

We could be about to see one of the upsets of this round as Ross Stewart scores from the penalty spot after Joachim Andersen brings down Finn Aziz

CHANCE! Port Vale 0-0 Sunderland

Régis Le Bris' side almost take an early lead but Eliezer Mayenda sees his effort cleared off the line

KICK OFF

The afternoon's second game is underway as League One's Port Vale welcome Premier League opposition in Sunderland

CHANCE!

That's an incredible save by Lecomte as he tips Finn Azaz's shot over the bar

CHANCE!

The hosts threaten again with substitute Alex Iwobi feeding Muniz but his effort is off target

CHANCE!

A real end-to-end moment as Rodrigo Muniz attempts to lay siege to the Saints' goal but Peretz is out quickly to thwart him. The visitors then go on the break with Larin, who has a great opening but drags his shot wide of goal before the referee brings play back for Jorge Cuenca's foul on Scienza

CHANCE!

Southampton go on another break with Tom Fellows played in for an effort which he fires narrowly wide up against Benjamin Lecomte at his near righthand post

NO GOAL!

Fulham are denied the opener for a second time. Castagne is on hand to meet the rebound after Peretz fumbled Joachim Andersen's header but it's ruled out for offside.

CHANCE!

Timothy Castagne pings a cross in from the right side of the box for Rodrigo Muniz to meet with a header which bounces over the bar

SECOND HALF

Back to it at Craven Cottage

HALF TIME

Still a fairly tepid contest at the break but Fulham will feel they should have taken the lead after Muniz's goal was disallowed.

CHANCE!

Scienza is involved again with a cross which should be converted by Cyle Larin but he can't reach it as the flag goes up for offside.

CHANCE!

A huge miss from the visitors as a breakaway sets Léo Scienza away but he blazes the ball off target

NO GOAL!

It's been a cagey opening stages but has exploded into life with a spot of controversy. Daniel Peretz took a goal kick which hit the back of teammate Ryan Manning before a Fulham player is on hand to convert the rebound. But the goal has been remarkably disallowed.

KICK OFF

We're underway in west London

First up, we're off to Craven Cottage as Fulham host Southampton. It's 50 years since the visitors memorably won the competition. Could history repeat itself this season?
