Cambridge shock Newcastle as Kidderminster conquer Reading in FA Cup third round

Sky Bet League One Cambridge pulled off a shock 1-0 win at Newcastle to book their place in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Newcastle, battling for Premier League survival, thought they had taken the lead through Jacob Murphy, but the goal was disallowed for offside.

Cambridge broke the deadlock in the 56th minute when Joe Ironside turned in a crowded penalty area to knock the ball in – with the goal given following a lengthy VAR review.

Vanarama National League outfit Boreham Wood will also be in the fourth-round draw after a 2-0 home win over AFC Wimbledon.

Tyrone Marsh gave the Wood an early lead with a fierce drive and substitute Adrian Clifton, who had only just come on, sealed a memorable win with four minutes left.

Earlier, Matty Pearson’s late header saw Championship high-flyers Huddersfield come from behind to dump Premier League Burnley out with a 2-1 win at Turf Moor.

Teenager Joe Grey came off the bench to score the winner as League Two Hartlepool fought back to beat Championship side Blackpool 2-1 at Victoria Park.

Holders Leicester beat Watford 4-1 at the King Power Stadium.

Youri Tielemans – whose goal beat Chelsea at Wembley in last year’s final – set the Foxes on their way with an early penalty, before James Maddison (25) doubled the lead.

Substitute Bryan Mbeumo came off the bench to score a second-half hat-trick as Brentford ran out 4-1 winners at Port Vale.

Saturday’s early kick off saw Championship side Middlesbrough edge past League Two Mansfield 3-2 with an own goal in stoppage time.
