Corner of goal

Last night’s fixtures provided an astonishing 15 goals in 3 games as Clubs battled it out for a place in the FA Youth Cup quarter final.

League One Port Vale perhaps provided the shock of the round in defeating Premiership Tottenham Hotspur in front of over 2,000 fans at Vale Park to secure a sixth round clash with Chelsea.

Liverpool tasted Cup defeat for the first time in almost 3 years to a Martyn Waghorn inspired Sunderland. In an evenly fought contest Waghorn and substitute Ryan Noble scored the all important goals in extra time.

In the penultimate tie of the fifth round, Bristol City were knocked out of the competition by Manchester City in an enthralling game at Ashton Gate.
