Would you believe it?

This is one of the great shocks of

the competition. Gascoigne is going

to have a crack. It's there! It's a

sensational goal.

Gerrard!

Cantona!

What a moment in football. Aaron

Ramsey scores. The world's greatest

cup!

Good evening.

Highlights of six FA Cup fifth-round

matches to come over

the next 65 minutes,

in the company of Matthew Upson

and Leon Osman.

First up it's an all Premier League

tie - the 12-time FA Cup

winners Manchester United travelled

to Huddersfield Town.

The last time Jose Mourinho's side

went to the John Smith's,

they were beaten 2-1.

Your commentator for

this one, Steve Bower.

Whatever happens in Huddersfield's

domestic season they will always

recall their first win over

Manchester United for 65 years in

October he. Jose Mourinho warned his

players they cannot because by

surprise as they look to remain on

course for a 20th FA Cup final

appearance. Huddersfield, who were

last in the quarterfinals 46 years

ago Mick four changes, in some

Kongolo, billing, Williams and

Quaner, top scorer Mounie has three

goals in his last four games, Alex

Pritchard is cup tied. After all the

pre-match Paul Pogba talk the

Frenchman is ill, his absence is one

of six Jose Mourinho changes,

Michael Carrick gets only his second

start since September and Mata,

Shaw, Lindelof, McTominay and Romera

come in in a team that still

contains both Sanchez and Lukaku.

So, the third meeting of the season

between Manchester United and

Huddersfield, one win apiece. There

is a possibility there will be a

fourth if this is a draw, of course.

Ander Herrera is another one on the

injury list along with Marcus

Rashford, although Jose Mourinho

hopes they will both be available

for the midweek Champions League

trip to Spain to face Seville. That

is won by Smalling. Lukaku. He

wanted it back from the Mata, got it

back from Mata, might be an

opportunity for Lukaku, Schindler

against him, brilliant from Lukaku,

less than three minutes gone,

strength, power, and then the

finish. He scores for the third

round coming in the FA Cup, and it's

a perfect start for Manchester

United. He couldn't have wished for

anymore. He held it up originally.

Juan Mata with the ball, he didn't

have to break stride, he just held

off Schindler, checked, and put it

at Lossl's near post. It's his 20th

Manchester United goal and it is one

that silences the John Smith's

Stadium. Follows up from his goal

against them and the Premier League

at Old Trafford. With one in the FA

Cup. Huddersfield 0-1 Manchester

United. Billing will get the

opportunity to throw this long

towards Mounie. Tag it, muted

appeals for hands there. Williams.

Ince.

Van La Parra. Blocked by Yonge.

That's useful. There's no flag. What

a chance and Tom Ince knows it. --

blocked by Young. Manchester United

switched off here, it was all a bit

untidy, Billing's ball, they are

appealing. The flag from Gary

Beswick wasn't raised. We understand

that VAR has looked at these two

angles of this incident involving

Chris Smalling, and it wasn't deemed

clear enough to give the penalty.

Hadergjonaj, and Huddersfield

getting space on the right-hand

side, trying to bend it into Ince

who almost made something of it. He

knew exactly what he was doing and

Tom Ince was a fraction away from

making that a perfect delivery.

Really good response from the home

team after that early goal. The

final minute of the first half.

Mata is onside and he's made it 2-0

in the final few seconds of the

first half, the two times FA Cup

winner makes it two for Manchester

United. Well, they have hardly been

in the Huddersfield penalty area. He

is onside and he is level, both

times Manchester United have

profited with clinical finishes.

Awareness from Young, who coolly

went around Lossl and put it in the

back of the net. His fourth goal of

the season. Kevin Friend is just

waiting for VAR confirmation, as is

the rest of the John Smith's

Stadium. It will be the offside

decision, surely. The conversation

continues, as does the tension. Neil

Swarbrick, the VAR referee back at

Stockley Park, analysing this, and

whether Matthew Wilkes, the

referee's assistant got it right.

And Neil Swarbrick says he didn't.

And Mata's goal will not count.

These are the pictures that VAR

watched to make their decision.

They're not particularly scientific,

are they, or indeed inclusive. There

wasn't a straight line amongst them.

He was told he was leaning offside

and he ruled the goal out. That was

a big call, a second Manchester

United goal right on the stroke of

half-time was a potential pivotal

one in the cup tie. Sanchez has now

been caught. Added time has been

extended and it's a Manchester

United free kick. Hadergjonaj. This

is likely to be the last action of

the first half. That's aimed towards

Matic and this time the flag has

gone up and that certainly won't

count and cue the ironic cheers from

the majority of the John Smith's

Stadium. Manchester United again

with every player back inside their

own half. Hadergjonaj. On loan from

Ingolstadt. Ince. Quaner.

Hadergjonaj's pull-back. Away by

McTominay, only cleared as far as

Williams. Was he caught by Sanchez?

He was. It's another Huddersfield

free kick. Positive from the USA

international, just caught by

Sanchez. Philip Billing is going to

step up for this one for

Huddersfield. On the left foot, and

again the wall did its job, back to

Billing, all the way through,

deflected on the way through, and

Huddersfield have a corner.

Van La Parra with it. Cleared from

Smalling only as far as Billing.

Manchester United try and counter.

Sanchez. What a fabulous Ball.

Lukaku right the way through here.

Can he get the shot in? He can!

Devastating break ten minutes into

the second half, Lukaku has his and

Manchester United's second, assisted

by Alexis Sanchez. All from their

own penalty area. Look at the

awareness of Sanchez here, one touch

and the second one is in his stride,

but he still had plenty to do. It

was a calm and collected finish from

Romelu Lukaku, 11 goals in 13 games

in his FA Cup career now. That one

could be extremely pivotal in this

tie. Clinical again from the

Belgian. No debate about that one.

This time it's most definitely is

Huddersfield

Huddersfield 0-2 Manchester United.

Manchester United safely through to

the quarterfinals in the end, two

goals from Romelu Lukaku the

difference for Jose Mourinho's team.

It won't just be the initials of FA

Cup up for discussion, those three

letters of VAR will be as well.

Huddersfield 0-2 Manchester United.

If the decision is right I'm super

happy with that even if the decision

goes against me.

Was it right today?

I don't know, I just heard a few

comments. What I'm saying is if the

decision goes against my team that

is the right decision I'm very happy

with that because what I want is the

truth, and sometimes it goes against

my team, sometimes it will go in my

team's favour. But I heard some

comments that may be the one that

was right was the linesman and not

the studio.

No, I said this to Jose

immediately when the referee made

his decision, however this decision

now will be I don't like it. Yes,

the decision was in our favour and

we stayed in the game because rather

than 2-0 down before time stomach

half-time we were 1-0 down. This

video referee, it kills the emotion

in the game and I don't like it.

I'm

up for VAR, and I think is good for

football, especially to make

important decisions and make it a

little bit Ferreira but today it

wasn't a clear decision and it was

against me, but fortunately that

goal was needed. -- fairer. Whittle

wished it was quicker.

What can you

do? It is an experiment or period,

in Portugal we have it in every

match of our Premier League so I'm

quite familiar with what the VAR is

bringing, good and bad. They have to

kill the bad and make it perfect

because everyone loves the game, I

think, loves the truth.

Here we are

talking about VAR again, it is where

we're going to begin our chat but

the first thing we should say, we

will get onto the application the

moment but the decision was

ultimately the right decision by the

letter of the law.

It's close but

they do get it right.

If

If you are going to use it you have

to make sure that you do get the

decision right. As you can see, as

Ashley Young travels down in the

wide area he's just about to play

the ball. You can just see as it

stopped and analysed that Juan Mata

is slightly, albeit very close,

slightly offside. Ultimately they

got to the right decision.

However,

the way it was projected and the way

it appeared on the

it appeared on the screens from

broadcasters in the UK it didn't

look professional, it appeared with

wiggly lines and that's not what the

Premier League wants the world to

see from this cutting-edge

technology.

No. It's a technology

that will and must be tidied up.

They are making a statement saying

these lines were not used for them

to determine this decision but that

is what we saw, so as the public

watching the game live, if you are

seeing those lies, lines it is not

filling you with confidence.

The

images from Stockley Park where the

footage is reviewed, they were

looking at footage that had straight

lines like this, this is what they

have shown us afterwards. However,

as you say, that is not shown to the

world. The other thing is, even with

that line through it, they are

almost, as dammit, level, there is a

of knee, so if you ten months ago

were seeing the linesman make that

decision you would have been happy

for the goal to stand from the naked

eye.

Absolutely. Is so close,

difficult for the linesman to see.

Nobody would say or give the

linesman any grief for not getting

that spot on but it's so close

again.

He didn't call for it, the

referee didn't call for it, the

decision to review it came from

Stockley Park. Are we chasing

perfection now and it is potentially

hampering the game in terms of

slowing it up and spoiling those

moments?

Absolutely, but for me this

is my biggest fear with VAR, the

game isn't perfect. Jose Mourinho

alludes to the fact that we need to

make the system perfect. How can you

make it perfect? The game is not

paid, played in a perfect

environment at Don McGahn has so

many moving parts, even if we freeze

frame it you have an imperfection of

whether you can call it or offside

and for me it brings a negative part

to the game. Certain decisions, we

spoke about de Lange technologic, we

spoke about de Lange technologic,

we're clear their lines and they are

quick but this type of decision is a

difficult one to use VAR on. -- we

spoke about the technology.

Let's

talk about the match, and ultimately

whether that decision was right or

wrong it wouldn't have affected the

result, just the scoreline. You were

surprised about the way Jose

Mourinho set up Manchester United

tonight.

I was, they played deep and

allowed Huddersfield to have a lot

of possession and played on the

counterattack, which you would not

expect from Manchester United. But

when you do have weapons and

ammunition like Romelu Lukaku and

his pace you have the chance to

score goals like that.

It was almost

a -- as if United wanted to draw out

Huddersfield and he goes tight on

Lukaku, which is fine but the

reaction of Jorgensen, when Lukaku

lays off the ball, he's hungrier, he

knows he wants to get in behind and

Schindler manages to get there but

he's running full pace and is

difficult to turn their forced up

here we go again, United on the

counterattack, when they went there

in the league they lost 2-1, and had

a 77.9% possession.

Today Jose

Mourinho changed that, they let

Huddersfield have the ball and had

45% possession today but won the

game comfortably and this is why.

You see the pace and power of

Lukaku, the space to run into. Grey

ball by Sanchez, and even with a

couple of what you would call bad

touches

touches he still space to put the

ball in the net.

Mourinho will not

care about the statistics, he is in

the results business.

Absolutely and

I had to respect the fact if he's

looked at that and decided to play

in that style he's gone and got the

result and they are through to the

next round in the cup and that is a

smart management.

A quick word on

Paul Pogba who was due to be in the

team today and was pulled out this

morning because of illness. Aims are

not going well for him and his

manager at the moment at, the word

in France is he's not happy about

the way he's been played by

Mourinho.

For whatever reason things

aren't going well and Sanchez has

come in and may have upset the apple

cart and upset with Pogba sees

himself at Manchester United, I'm

not so sure. For whatever reason

things are not all suite at

Manchester United for Paul Pogba.

You've got to manage these

personalities.

Absolutely, one of

the difficult parts of managing

players of that value and with the

money invested in them, to keep

everyone happy and manage them

properly, it is a big challenge for

the manager.

Thanks for the moment,

guys.

There was another all-Premier League

affair at the Hawthorns, where two

relegation strugglers

went head to head.

Southampton won this battle

in the league two weeks ago -

since then, West Brom have been

embroiled in Taxi gate.

Commentary comes from Robyn Cowen.

ROBYN COWEN:

Respite from relegation worries for

release this weekend. FA Cup ties

might not be top of the list of

priorities that if there is a winner

this afternoon, it will only be a

positive for the victor with both

sides finding winds had to come by

this season. It has been an eventful

week for West Brom. Major changes at

boardroom level and a warm weather

training trip to Barcelona that

resulted in four players being

spoken to by the Catalan police for

allegedly stealing a taxi. Gareth

Barry and Jonny Evans start today.

Nine of the 11 who won here at the

hawthorns two weeks ago our named in

the start-up. Nathan Redmon handed a

first start since Boxing Day. A

significant day for West Bromwich

Albion football club. 50 years ago

today they played Southampton here

during their journey to the final of

the FA Cup, which they won back in

1968. That is nice play. Ryan

Bertrand. The cross just over

Ward-Prowse. Here is Cedric. Corner

kick to Southampton. James

Ward-Prowse with the delivery. An

outswinger, and it is 1-0 to

Southampton!

Southampton! Wesley Hoedt with his

first goal for the club found acres

of space to sweep home a brilliant

start for the Saints. It was a good

delivery but there was no one within

3-4 yards of Wesley Hoedt. He will

never score an easier goal than that

and that is exactly what Alan Pardew

and West Brom did not need.

WHISTLE

Free kick to West Brom. Fouled by

Lemina. Didn't really have anywhere

to go, a bit of a silly challenge by

Lemina.

Rondon, deflected over the wall. It

will be out for another corner kick

to West Brom.

That is a good delivery again

towards the back post. There were a

couple of baggies players throwing

themselves at it. Back in, a

dangerous delivery and over the top.

Dawson with the late run. That was a

chance. Well, I wonder what is going

through his mind. It has been a

tough week for Alan Pardew.

Nice ball, here is Cedric. Stands it

up. Safety first from Matt Phillips.

James Ward-Prowse. With the dead

ball once again. Gone through

everyone, is it a second? What a

mess from West Brom. Wesley Hoedt

had his first goal for the club.

Hojbjerg will think he should have

done the same here. And that is a

mistake. Here comes Rodriguez! Did

take a deflection, it will be a

corner to West Brom, but they were

nearly gifted an equaliser. Hoedt,

the goal-scorer, nearly let in

Rodriguez.

It is a good delivery. Dawson is

there. Good leap by Dawson, tipped

over the bar by McCarthy. Much more

promising from West Brom. He is

enjoying the atmosphere.

Rondon just riding -- ran into

Hoedt. Krychowiak. What a say.

McCarthy had to readjust himself

there. It took a humongous

deflection of Wesley Hoedt and that

is a terrific stop.

Good play. Dusan Tadic. Tadic to

wrap it up... That is a cool and

calm finish them Dusan Tadic, his

fourth of the season. Expertly done.

West Brom are in real trouble now.

Did really well to hook this into

the path of Tadic. You have to say

that is poor from Krychowiak. Didn't

get the challenge in and Tadic, that

is a sensational lob, beautifully

done, and it's a long way back from

here for West Brom.

It has been a fairly tight game,

really, but Southampton have taken

the few chances that have fallen

fairway. Rondon! -- fallen on their

way. A tremendous goal by Solomon

Rondon! He gets West Brom back into

this FA Cup tie. That was probably

the hardest chance they've created

and he has taken it. A pinpoint

perfect ball. Rondon taking it first

time. Powerful and on target.

McCarthy, no chance. That is

fantastic. West Brom 1- to

Southampton and we have a cup tie on

our hands.

our hands. Tadic. The referee waved

play on. Here is Rodriguez. The

referee had given the free kick West

Brom's way. Rodriguez sandwiched

between Hojbjerg and Lemina. Barry.

Looking for Dawson. Gets the corner

kick.

James McClean with the delivery.

Just punched off the line by

McCarthy. How on earth did that stay

out? Very, very close from Hegazy.

What a stop from the goalkeeper to

keep it out. Suddenly the tables

have turned, in terms of pressure.

Mauricio Pellegrino now looking the

more animated. Here is James

McClean. Forced to turn back.

Stephens with the header, yet

another corner for West Bromwich

Albion.

It is a deep corner. Hegazy... Oh,

off the bar! Rondon, incredible!

They couldn't have come closer, West

Brom. Ryan Bertrand has saved

Southampton from conceding another.

West Brom head in hands, will be

wondering how on earth they are not

level.

I didn't

wondering how on earth they are not

level.

I didn't think we were great

first half. We had a week of not

what you'd really wish, but second

half, we showed a lot more

confidence.

We really pushed

Southampton. It's important for us

for many, many reasons. Obviously

the first one, we will move to the

next round. We have this possibility

with this one game. And also, we

want to use this game to give us an

opportunity to some players that are

not playing too much. And also

because we want to improve as a

team, as a spirit, obviously to

prepare for the next Premier League

game.

We changed the captaincy over to

Gareth because I think that was the

right thing to do. But, of course, I

need to get wins for this club and I

need to make a decision, what I

thought was right in terms of

getting a strong team out on the

pitch and that will be the same

going forward.

I know you mentioned

before this came the boardroom

uncertainty means your job isn't

quite as certain as it was before.

Does this result change any of that

sort of thinking from your part?

Well, that's not a decision for me.

In terms of the team and the

character they showed, and our fans,

by the way, they were brilliant.

They showed the loyalty they have

two the club are now we have to show

our loyalty by doing the work as

best we can this week and try to get

ourselves a result in the league.

We

will get on in a moment to what has

gone on in the week with them and

what the ramifications might be for

Alan Pardew himself. But actually,

with all that and what had happened,

we expected perhaps West Brom to

come out in the first half with a

little more intent and the crowd

that were there were not getting on

their backs and perhaps we'd expect

them to come out with a little more

purpose.

I expected a quick start

for them to be on the front foot. Be

in the face of Southampton make a

game of it but

in the face of Southampton make a

game of it but it was anything but.

Southampton started much better.

West Brom was sloppy. Things we

expect them to be good at, defending

set pieces. Dawson 's marking

Carrillo. All you have to do is stay

with your man. A little bit of

clever movement from Southampton

from Carrillo captures both West

Brom defenders going for the same

man. Hoedt has an easy tap in, you

won't score an easy goal for a

centre half attacking a set piece.

And then we moved on into the second

half. West Brom tried to start

quickly but still sloppy. They

committed too many men forward.

Southampton counter-attacked.

McAuley has to go and win that first

one. Hegazy is over. If he is over,

he has to win the second one.

Krychowiak has to do something to

stop Tadic scoring that goal, has to

defend better. But from a

Southampton point of view, the

passes from Carrillo, fantastic.

They didn't play like they were in

the bottom three today.

Not on

today's format, they started the

game fantastically well. They did

everything I expected West Brom to

do. They were on the front foot,

they made a game of it. They were

really confident, perhaps because

they went there a few weeks back and

won the game. You saw the way they

went about it.

The second half they

started brighter and better and

there was more positive play coming

from West Brom and a beautiful goal,

ultimately.

It was, they were on the

front foot. They started with a

quicker tempo, they were chasing

things down, having efforts on goal.

Krychowiak here with an effort, OK

it takes a deflection, but the crowd

started to get involved. Fantastic

work from James McClean winning the

ball back. Krychowiak with an

unbelievably good ball. Rondon, I

don't think he will score a better

career. Suddenly they are back in

the game, the crowd are involved and

they are on the front foot. They had

chance after chance after that. They

made a game of it, efforts to get

back in the game. Hegazy has a

chance here, a great save from the

Southampton goalkeeper. Another

opportunity. Hegazy with an effort

off the bar. Rondon, great block by

Bertrand. It was just too little too

late from West Brom today, but from

a Southampton point of view, two

fantastic goals, real determination

not to concede and to go through in

the FA Cup.

It is a condition that

seems to have spurred them on

through the rounds. They haven't

done too well in the league, things

not going too well for Alan Pardew

and this week they got worse. Of

course, the back pages are alluding

to the fact he may well now be on

borrowed time after this week's

antics. Were you surprised that the

timing of a midweek warm weather

training break West Brom?

The timing was difficult based on

the fact they had a Monday evening

game, to go and enjoy the break and

get back and prepare for Saturday

you only have a four date window so

it's tight timewise to do that well.

I have to say, I understand the

value of what those trips are and

they are important whether you are

top of the league bottom of the

league, I think they have real

value, getting the team together and

players together is really

important, maybe even more so if you

are at the bottom of the league.

So

what you are into mating is it's

about going out and the players

bonding perhaps over alcohol and

having a good time.

There has to be

times when players are allowed to

relax and get together, a good bit

of spirit, but the timing of doing

that playing Monday to Saturday was

strange.

Allegedly. Taxis,

obviously. Two down, more to come.

March pulls it back, off the

woodwork! It must be. Van der Hoorn.

What a save. What a save from

Schmeichel. Against the post.

Next to the Amex,

and back to the 80s.

1983 finalists Brighton take on 1987

winners Coventry City,

who are aiming for a second

Premier League scalp

in the competition this year.

Jonathan Pearce does

like to be beside the seaside.

COMMENTATOR: Entering the south

coast early spring sunshine, 4500,

treat, Coventry fans recalling the

epic final 31 years ago, dreaming of

making more history here, having

beaten Stoke in round three, the

lowest club left in the competition

looking to become the first team

ever from the fourth tier or below

to knockout two top-flight sides in

the same run since the old fourth

division was created. Record signed

Dutchman Jurgen Locadia makes his

Brighton debut, having netted a

hat-trick on his PSV Eindhoven debut

and Leonardo Ulloa starts for the

first time since rejoining the club

on loan from Leicester, only march

and Stevens started last week in the

league against Stoke. The saviour of

Sir Alex Ferguson is missing the

experienced Michael Doyle, injured.

Jack Grimmer who scored against

Stoke is fit again. Four changes in

all from the midweek defeat at

Colchester, their third in a row.

18-year-old Tom Bayliss scored that

night, one to watch the future,

Jonson Clarke-Harris on loan from

Rotherham gets his first start, one

of eight players aged 24 or under in

that side.

Out sweeps the corner kick. Locadia

has hit the woodwork on his debut.

Back towards the new record signing,

almost comes to the fast Dick. He

has this habit of creating the

startling impact -- the far stick.

The first player in the Dutch league

scored a hat-trick against that

team, the first player to do it

since 1969. Almost got a goal on his

debut. Locadia unlucky. Olsson heads

it away. Matt Naulty. This looks

dangerous for Coventry City. It

dangerous for Coventry City. It came

off him. Grey raw from the Coventry

fans.

fans. Low and flat, good header off

the bar. Coventry City were so

unlucky. What they let off for the

Premier League side. Jonson

Clarke-Harris nearly scored his

first goal back at Coventry. All

credit to Coventry for coming here

to attack and not sit back and try

to grind a result out. I don't think

they have the players or depth of

squad to deny Chris Hughton's side

by playing that way. It's Locadia

trying to cushion the header and

bring it down. Nine goals for PSV

before moving to Brighton. Here is

Knockaert, Cross, le cardia, 1-0. --

Leucadia host of another debut goal

for Juergen Leucadia, Leucadia. Good

enough to win two titles in Holland

and good on for Brighton to pay a

record £14 million. He's been

hamstrung since signing. --

Leucadia. On his debut he finds a

goal. Brighton have regularly gone

beyond round three in the last

decade but they have not reached the

quarterfinals since 1980s it is.

Ulloa. March. He's lost his man in

the middle. ,

he got ahead of his man, and he's

not quite match sharp enough to have

squeezed the extra foot out of the

run. Could have got their second

goal. March.

Beram Kayal made a good run into

space, not seen. Marched back to

Knockaert, took it well enough, can

he get the cross in early -- March.

It goes off Ryan Haynes. Sutton up

with it, Goldson trying to shrug off

his marker, it is aimed at him again

and he scores.

and he scores. 2-0, Brighton's lead.

Exactly a year ago since a routine

health checks found a heart problem

needing major surgery. That is a

very special moment for the player,

for the club and whole community in

this area.

Goldson with the header. That's not

a bad piece of control, and a fine

effort there. Really good effort

from Josh Barrett. He brought it

down well, kept it moving, and

looped the shot just wide. He's 19

years of age, Josh Barrett, and only

in his fourth game for the club.

They have let too many home points

slip away this season from positions

of advantage, 14th in the Premier

League table at the moment. They

would have been a lot higher have

they put games to bed here. They

should have won. Here is March.

Knockaert should keep it in. Locadia

again pulling away from the defender

in the middle. Bruno. Ulloa. His

first goal since his return. Lovely

centre forward's header, and the

game is safe. Credit to Knockaert

for keeping it in. Good delivery

from Bruno. Brilliant header. One

hour played, Brighton 3-0 Coventry.

Up to Clark Harris. Now Bayliss.

Disson cross. Clarke-Harris has

flicked the woodwork again. How

unlucky. Now Josh Barrett. Haynes.

Jonson Clarke-Harris really deserves

a goal. Bayliss just flicked in the

Cross really, and it was barely

touch, and for the second time in

the game he hits the road --

woodwork. He's been a real handful

for the Brighton defenders, still

only 23.- the back-up to Jonson

Clarke-Harris, it misses him, back

to Jonson Clarke-Harris with the

header. He's deserved that. The long

ball out, he was set up by

Pondicherry, and Coventry get a

consolation, no doubt, but it was

really well taken -- Ponticelli. The

Coventry City fans have come in

their thousands, 4500 of them, and a

goal to remember. Really good

atmosphere, it has been all the way

through. Brighton could get another

here. Onto the woodwork.

Extraordinary. Both sides have hit

the woodwork twice. It was so nearly

a fourth for Brighton. Didn't do

much wrong, aimed it rather

much wrong, aimed it rather than

placing it. It the angle of post and

bar. This is a good run, it has

bounced back

bounced back kindly to him. His

cross flashes into the middle,

deflected kindly here for Brighton.

It is Brighton's first quarterfinal

since 1980s it is.

It is Brighton's first quarterfinal

since 1980s it is.

Really pleased I

thought the application was exactly

what you need in this type of game.

We had to fight hard for it, we were

up against a Coventry side, I know

they have dropped a bit in the last

couple of weeks but they have had a

good season and probably showed why

they are in the season they have

had.

We have had a really good go,

certainly in the second half. I

thought the second half was better

and we got a foothold, got the goal,

hit the post, Jonson Clarke-Harris

had a shot saved at the end by Tim

Krul. We go back with our heads held

high, although we are out of the

competition it has been a brilliant

run and the supporters have backed

us to the hilt and enjoyed it and

hopefully we can finish our season

on a positive note.

Brighton in the

quarterfinals for the first time

since 1980s it, and a lot of

positives for them today and a good

performance overall. For the

debutant Locadia to score when you

are the record club signing it must

be a great feeling to

are the record club signing it must

be a great feeling to put in a

performance like that.

Absolutely

come I think it was his first shot

on target for the club he scores

with, and he shows how sharp he is

in the box, great improvised effort

to hit the crossbar. And all first

half Brighton were fabulous on the

set pieces, here is his goal.

Knockaert almost scuffs the cross,

but his little movement to pull off

from the defender, it is a lovely

finish struck into the bottom

corner, he has shown his quality in

front of goal. This one again, he

makes this little pull-back, doesn't

rush along the line of defenders and

knows where the space is but doesn't

quite get the left foot finish on

the end of it. Running along behind,

great little pass from the midfield,

but he's shown he has the cleverness

to make that movement in and around

the back four. This one I love

because it shows his desire to want

to get in the box. He's got about a

three or four yard deficit and he

makes it up just through the

aggression of desire to want

aggression of desire to want to get

there and score and probably should

score when he gets there. Another

left footed effort on the move, left

or right foot shooting was good and

Coventry couldn't deal with him all

game. Outstanding debut for him.

Another effort to get into the box

to show that desire once he lays it

off, he doesn't want to stand still,

he wants to get in the box and score

goals, great addition for Chris

Hughton.

Mark Robins said he's had a

good run, he's pleased with what

it's done for a young team, Jonson

Clarke-Harris one of those.

He's on

loan from Rotherham and had a great

afternoon, he hit the crossbar with

a glancing header and timed it

beautifully and his finish on the

half volley with his laces was real

class and a bright point for

Coventry.

We should give the word to

Connor Goldson who last March had

open heart surgery so to see him

back on the scoresheet a couple of

games into his comeback was also

great news.

Great to see players

coming back from those kinds of

injuries and all credit to him and

the medical team at Brighton, to be

back playing is brilliant.

Thank you

very much.

Former Sheffield Wednesday

manager Carlos Carvalhal,

returns to the club

he left on Christmas Eve,

with new side Swansea City.

His record going into this one -

a single defeat in 11 matches.

Alistair Mann was at Hillsborough.

ALISTAIR MANN:

Carlos Carvalhal returns the club

that didn't want to sack him, well

aware of the crippling injury list

that blighted his first season in

charge. His successor has inherited

the same list of absentees but makes

six changes to the side that beat

Derby on Tuesday, among the five who

remain George Boyd, who is the only

man in either starting XI to have

played in an FA Cup final. Six

alterations also for Swansea whose

plans were disrupted when Alfie

Mawson was injured in the warm up,

Kyle Naughton taking his place.

Conor Roberts is the only

replacement not in the 18 last

weekend, but he's been an ever

present in the cup so far.

Sheffield Wednesday normally

deployed three tens at hearts and a

wingback. A positive start for them.

In many ways, Adam Reach maybe

should have put them in front. Just

appeared as though the angle was

getting tighter and tighter for

reach and it brushed off the fingers

of Nordfeldt.

Alfie Mawson was down

to play but then he hobbled out of

the warm up with just a few minutes

till the start of the match.

He is

now wearing a leg brace and has

crutches. Could be worrying for the

next few weeks for Swansea.

Took a deflection, shot never looked

like it was going on target but at

least the

least the hosts are going to defend

a corner. Van der Hoorn tries to get

to the resulting corner. Away by

Dawson. In by Carroll. Cleared by

Federico Barba Anzio. In towards

Abraham, but an easy one for Cameron

Dawson. Now, was there a push on

Abraham? Well, that is a penalty,

isn't it? I suspect had there been

VAR, and there isn't today, they

would surely have had a penalty,

Swansea. Tackled by Carroll.

Abraham. It is a good ball.

Routledge round the back, tries to

pick out Ki but well dealt with by

Pudil. Swansea have had their best

moments of the game in the last few

minutes of it.

minutes of it. Ki's delivery from

the corner is cleared. Naughton.

the corner is cleared. Naughton. And

it must be... Van der Hoorn! What a

save! That is outstanding goalkeeper

by -- goalkeeping by Cameron Dawson.

Van der Hoorn should have put

Swansea in front but Cameron Dawson,

who has had nothing to do, has made

a stunning reaction save. That is a

brilliant piece of goalkeeping.

Abraham. Good ball. No penalty.

Challenge by Fox and the assistant

on the far side was unmoved.

Narsingh going for it. Think it

would have been in the category of

"Soft". In his first two seasons in

charge, Carlos Carvalhal took

Sheffield Wednesday to the

play-offs, they got to the final in

the first year and lost 1-0 to Hull

City. That first season beset by

injuries. Now, that challenge from

van der Hoorn is one which the

referee is going to take great

exception to. It was over the top of

the ball. Van der Hoorn is relieved

that it is not the colour of his

shirt. When you are over the top of

the ball like that, there is a

chance you might get red carded for

it. Naughton. Carroll.

Jordan Ayew. Good football from

Swansea and arguably the guest move

-- best move they have made all

game, the substitutes combining

sweetly. Couldn't quite get the shot

out from under his right boot.

Venancio.

Venancio. Pelupessy. Hunt. Nuhiu.

Lovely from him... Still going,

Nuhiu, and he brings out the save

from Nordfeldt. He is such a popular

player against the Wednesday

supporters and a pretty personable

bloke off the field. On the field

he's been probably Sheffield

Wednesday's most likely to score

today. Naughton. WHISTLE

Just got caught from behind,

Naughton, as he tried to escape

Wallace's attentions. Both sides are

about to make a substitution here.

Glucose is replacing Olsson, just in

time for this Swansea free kick. --

Lucas. What a chance that was! And

he knows it. All it needed was a

touch. And Swansea would have been

in the quarterfinals of the FA Cup.

The crowd of around 20,000 in

Hillsborough, most of whom would

just love the prospect of an FA Cup

quarterfinal. Nuhiu lays it off,

back to Nuhiu again.

back to Nuhiu again. Joao gets to it

but he is offside! What an

opportunity for Sheffield Wednesday

to take their place in the

quarterfinals of the FA Cup for the

first time since 1997. They had a

chance early in the first half. They

have now had one late in the second.

Adam Reach involved in both, but his

pass catching Joao offside. Joao

couldn't bundle it in anyway but had

he have done, it would not have

counted and we are surely heading to

the liberty

counted and we are surely heading to

the liberty for a replay.

First let

me say thank you to the way the fans

received me, the staff, the

managers, the players, it's the

beauty of football, the nice part of

football, that football I dream of

all the time.

I'm very proud of my

team, they give everything and in

every game give 100%. It enjoyed me,

what I have seen and also our fans.

We must try to come in the next

round, nothing more.

It's a score

nobody wants, a repeat game is

something we don't want, we don't

wish and also I believe that

Sheffield Wednesday the same,

because we are involved in

competitions, very hard competition,

and this game is one extra game.

That was not a classic, was it? It

was not a great 90 minutes of

football. The referee might be a

little bit disappointed with his

decision on two incidents which

should have been penalties.

decision on two incidents which

should have been penalties.

I would

think so, for me here Swansea

deserve a clear penalty. Pudil has

just locked into Abraham in the box.

Pretty standard cost of Abraham in

front of the goalkeeper, wants to be

a nuisance, which he is. And then

Pudil just shoves him straight in

the back, not made any attempt to

play the ball. The only thing I can

think of is the referee gets a

little confused with the goalkeeper.

He is in and around and thinks he

might have nudged him. For me, look

at the shelter Pudil makes, just a

clear penalty on something he

missed.

He gets one on the nose from

Dawson in the process. There was

another one a little later on as

well, which was fairly clear-cut.

I

think this penalty well. Fox.

Narsingh spins on Fox doesn't match

the run. When he gets goal side, the

defender should respect his

decision. Fox has a swipe at it. I

think when you do that, you may

contact with the player in the

penalty area, I think you've given a

penalty away. I think Sheffield

Wednesday got away with wonder and

the referee missed it.

Not exactly a

Fox in the box! A very good day, we

will come away -- they will come

away from that feeling proud of

themselves. Cameron Dawson with a

great save.

We have to talk about

besides, it was special. A great

little ball from Naughton, just

clips it in. Van der Hoorn thinks he

has done everything right here to

score, which she has, really. But

the reaction from Dawson, a fabulous

save, close range reaction. You

can't ask for more from your

goalkeeper. Look at van der Hoorn,

to push it over the bar is a

fantastic save.

Van der Hoorn can't

believe what happened.

, leave he

hasn't scored.

Coming up this weekend -

Sign-up closes midnight on Sunday.

Get your entries in.

There were two matches under

the Friday night lights,

and we kick off at the King Power.

COMMENTATOR: Riyad Mahrez is back

with a smile according to his

manager. He starts for the first

time since returning to training

after his move to Manchester city

fell through. Captain Wes Morgan is

back from injury, as Claude Puel

makes exchanges but it is still a

strong side. Six changes as well for

Sheffield United, mindful of their

play-off push. Injuries and

suspensions have taken their toll.

James Wilson is their only new

signing who isn't cup tied.

Gray with the chance to run at the

Sheffield United defence. Lovely

ball to Jamie Vardy and Vardy just

past the post. Positive driving run

from Gray. Thought that Vardy had

the space and just inches away.

Deflected ball in, Simpson. An

excellent challenge by Maguire

prevents Stevens from giving the

championship side the lead. A goal

saving block against his boyhood

club.

Mahrez, Vardy, the flag stays down.

Well saved by Blackman. The

combination of Mahrez and Vardy

linking up again. Stays onside.

Blackman out sharply.

Mahrez. Simpson.

Vardy... Jamie Vardy puts Leicester

City ahead against Sheffield United!

And in the end it is that old

combination, Riyad Mahrez onto the

head of Jamie Vardy, and that is an

excellent header back across goal

and over Blackman. They have shown

flashes of what they can do when

they attack, Sheffield United. It is

in and... What a save from

Schmeichel!

Schmeichel! Sheffield United carving

Leicester open at the back. Cash per

Schmeichel making his first FA Cup

appearance of the season and proving

his worth to Leicester City.

Quite

appearance of the season and proving

his worth to Leicester City.

Quite a

lot of things had to go well for us.

We had to defend and be organised

and we did that. Respect that the

team that they picked as well was

quite a powerful one. We gave a good

account of ourselves, but ultimately

we are out of the competition, we

are disappointed.

A quality goal won

it for you, the old combination of

Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez.

Of

course, it is good to see this move

again, of course. Of course he

wanted to score today, but it was

not possible for him but he gave a

fantastic assist.

COMMENTATOR: Olivier Giroud won the

FA Cup three times during his time

at Arsenal. Back in May he came off

the bench at Wembley to help them

get the better of Chelsea. He keeps

his chase in the blues' starting

line-up this evening but Antonio

Conte has made six changes,

including another start the

17-year-old Ampadu and

17-year-old Ampadu and start for

Ederson. Dawson returns despite

completing only one training

session. Hull have never won here at

Stamford bridge.

Their first victory on Saturday

against virus... Willian gets an

shot way, what a start to the

Chelsea. Under two minutes on the

clock and the returning Brazilian

Willian settles Antonio Conte's

nerves. Away from Diomande and

finding Pedro. Over the top for

Djourou. The flag stays down but the

ball is over the bar. I think

perhaps Giroud thought he was

offside but a glorious opportunity

for him to register his first goal

for Chelsea. Giroud's lay-off.

Pedro, what a ball, Pedro what a

take, into number two this time, and

this time the Spaniard puts it away.

As soon as Giroud lay it off,

Fabregas knew what was on, the early

ball. Marshall cannot keep him out.

Giroud is too strong for Stewart.

Collected by Willian, takes it on

early and why not when you can

finish like that? Quite, quite

brilliant from Willian.

It will run for Emerson. He has got

away from Giroud and it is in.

Olivier Giroud has his first Chelsea

goal. You sense there will be plenty

more in Chelsea blue where that came

from.

Picked out Wilson. Wilson brought

down by Fabregas. Penalty. Silly

challenge by Fabregas, really, just

left out a leg. It will be David

Meyler, the only survivor from Hull

City's performance in the final of

four years ago to step up with this

penalty. But he is denied by

Caballero. The penalty saver

extraordinaire keeps out the shoot

out kick, as he did against Norwich

on the third round replay here. He

guessed correctly and a good strong

parry away and still nothing for

Hull City to celebrate.

Dawson tries to get the near post

touch, Drinkwater brings it away and

the early ball will release Chelsea,

it's three against one, Willian

waiting in the Centre for the

hat-trick. Willian for the

hat-trick, took too long, still a

chance for Chelsea, Zappacosta...

Good save by Marshall. Well,

Zappacosta was so unselfish there.

He could have taken on the initial

shot but he knew that Willian was in

for his hat-trick. It will come out

as far as Drinkwater. He got over

that well and it's a good save from

Marshall. It's an awkward bounce

from Drinkwater but he kept it down.

Hudson-Odoi. Willian. He hit it

against the post. Well, he was

inches away there from registering

his first-ever hat-trick for

Chelsea. The tie long since decided.

Not quite the gloss Willian was

looking for.

We knew it would be a

tough ask but when you see the flair

players they have, to see them live

today, we came close in the middle

of the pitch in the first half,

second half was a totally different

story. Disappointing that we didn't

score some goals but good character

shown from the players.

On Monday an

important game in the league after a

defeat and today we won an important

game in the FA Cup and now we have

another important game in the

Champions League. We will try to do

our best and then at the end of the

game we will see what happens.

As

David Meyler prepared to take the

penalty you had a quick word with

him. Can you tell us what you said

because it was effective?

I said to

him you are going to miss and he

said, no, you're crazy, and I said

yeah, don't kick in the middle

because Willie doesn't move, he

stays, and he says yeah? And he

missed and he came to me and I said,

I told you.

Great performance by

Chelsea and that man in particular,

Willian, you want to focus on him.

He doesn't always get the credit he

deserves playing alongside Eden

Hazard but he had a real Chance to

Shine and he took it only a few

minutes into the game, he picks the

ball up in a dangerous position,

shows a good bit of skill and what a

fantastic finish with his left foot.

Here he is again finishing with his

right foot. He picks the ball up and

finds himself in a bit of space.

What's fantastic is he doesn't seem

to shoot, he passes the ball into

the corner at pace.

His pace is the

key, almost like he has a little

afterburner on, he just hits it and

the speed he has, like Liam said,

for a defender it is a nightmare, he

faces you up and he can go left

foot, right foot -- Leon Osman.

faces you up and he can go left

foot, right foot -- Leon

He will

have to be on form against

Barcelona.

He won't be the only one,

a number of players need to be on

form for Chelsea in that game but

it's a fantastic game for them

coming up.

Thanks, guys.

And in random news, the FA Cup

quarter-final draw has been made

before two ties have

been played, and this

is how it looks.

The winners of the replay

between Sheffield Wednesday

and Swansea will host either

Rochdale or Tottenham.

Manchester United will entertain

Brighton in a repeat

of the 1983 final.

Leicester play last year's

beaten finalists Chelsea,

whilst Wigan or Manchester City

will take on Southampton.

Well, not everyone's Irfan but it's

VAR from over yet, it is from us,

though, good night from me and these

two. Getting taxes together? I think

that's a no. Good night.

-- not everyone's a fan.

Tadic to wrap it up.

Brilliant from Lukaku.
