The 5th round of the FA Cup produced some memorable matches, as favourites Arsenal and Manchester City both advanced to the next rounds. Chelsea qualified for the last 8 too after surviving a scare against Wrexham.
The first game of the week was Liverpool`s visit to Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Reds lost their last match against the same opponent in the Premier League, but looked back to their best this time.
2 goals in 2 minutes by Andy Robertson and Mo Salah set Liverpool on their way before Curtis Jones finished off the home-team chances by scoring a third. Hee-Chan got a late consolation goal for the Wolves as they lost 3-1.
Mansfield Town hosted Premier League leaders Arsenal at the One Call Stadium. Arsenal took the lead, but Mansfield equalised soon with a goal from Evans in the 50th minute. Eze scored the decisive goal of the match to help Arsenal win 2-1.
Wrexham and Chelsea played out a thrilling match under the lights. Wreham led twice in the game but were pegged back both times. As the match entered its final stage, Wrexham were down to 10 men as Dobson was shown a straight red card. Alejandro Garnacho and Predo Neto scored in extra time to give Chelsea a 4-2 victory.
Manchester City come from behind to beat Newcastle United
Manchester City continued their recent good form as they came from behind to beat Newcastle United at St. James Park. Newcastle were fresh off beating City`s neighbours, United, but faultered against Pep Guardiola`s side.
Newcastle United took the lead through Harvey Barnes, but one goal from Savinho and a brace from Marmoush were enough to send Man City through to the next round.
Southampton, Port Vale, and Leeds United were the other teams to qualify for the quarter-finals. West Ham and Brentford are yet to face each other in the last round of fixtures.
