The 'magic' of the FA Cup has become somewhat of a
cliche in recent years, but Saturday's fourth-round action
provided more of the surprises that have become so
synonymous with the world's oldest cup competition.
LIVERPOOL SUFFER WOLVES HOWLER, LINCOLN AND
OXFORD UPSET THE ODDS
It has been a miserable eight days for Jurgen Klopp, who
saw Liverpool beaten at Anfield by lowly Swansea City in
the Premier League and by Southampton in an EFL Cup
semi-final upset.
And it was three home defeats in a row as Championship
side Wolves caused another shock in a 2-1 win. Richard
Stearman headed home in the first minute, before
Andreas Weimann rounded goalkeeper Loris Karius to
double the lead before the break.
Divock Origi lashed in a late consolation and Wolves
survived an onslaught as Klopp suffered three straight
home defeats as a manager for the first time since 2007.
Wow what a day to be associated with this
great club! An incredible feeling and an
immense performance from the team

Non-league Lincoln City upset the odds to beat Ipswich
Town in a replay in round three, and faced an even
tougher ask against Brighton and Hove Albion - who are
riding high in the Championship.
The game was following the script when Richie Towell
put Brighton in front in the 24th minute, but an Alan
Power penalty and own goal from Fikayo Tomori turned
the match on its head before Theo Robinson rounded off
a superb comeback.
Here's the proof folks. Lincoln City are into the
FIFTH ROUND and LAST 16 of the

Newcastle United, second behind Brighton in the
Championship, continued a miserable record of not going
beyond round four since 2006 after losing 3-0 at Oxford
United.
A much-changed Magpies line-up fell behind to Kane
Hemmings' goal, before Aleksandar Mitrovic missed a
penalty to restore parity. Curtis Nelson met Rob Hall's
corner to add to Newcastle's woes, and Toni Martinez
completed the job for League One Oxford.
WYCOMBE FALL AT THE LAST
Twice it looked as though Spurs were going to be
subject to a giant killing at White Hart Lane.
League Two's Wycombe Wanderers were 2-0 up at the
break through experienced striker Paul Hayes' brace, the
second of which came from the penalty spot.
Thank you & well done to @SpursOfficial . You
have been awesome hosts & we were so proud
to run you that close. Good luck in the next
round.

Tottenham had seemingly swung the match in their
favour as Son Heung-min's deflected goal and Vincent
Janssen's spot-kick levelled the scores, only for Garry
Thompson to head Wycombe back in front with six
minutes to go.
But the drama was still not finished. Substitute Dele Alli
again brought Spurs level before, with virtually the last
kick of the game, Son's side-foot shot was diverted into
the goal by Joe Jacobson as Wycombe suffered a heart-
breaking 4-3 loss.
CHELSEA, CITY AND ARSENAL FOLLOW THE SCRIPT
While there were shocks and near giant-killings, Chelsea,
Manchester City and Arsenal had no such trouble.
Antonio Conte's Premier League leaders battered
Brentford 4-0 at Stamford Bridge with Willian, Pedro,
Branislav Ivanovic and Michy Batshuayi all on target.
City, on paper at least, had a taller order away at Crystal
Palace, but Raheem Sterling, Leroy Sane and Yaya Toure
ensured a comfortable 3-0 win.
Theo Walcott scored a hat-trick against his old club and
Danny Welbeck marked his first start since recovering
from major knee surgery with two goals as Arsenal
battered Southampton 5-0.
Two goals... and now an

In other matches, Middlesbrough scraped past League
Two Accrington Stanley 1-0, Steven Defour scored a
sublime chip as Burnley beat Bristol City 2-0, while
Blackburn Rovers defeated Blackpool by the same
scoreline.
Rounding off the action, Huddersfield Town routed
Rochdale 4-0.
