Newport County 2-1 Leeds: Exiles earn famous win after Shawn McCoulsky flies to KO Championship

Shawn McCloulsky rose highest to Newport County a famous victory over Championship Leeds and provide one of the biggest shocks of the FA Cup third round. Ten minutes after Conor Shaughnessy had just put past his own keeper to get Newport level, substitute McCoulsky head home to make it 2-1 and send Rodney Parade into delirium.



Brentford 0-1 Notts County: Jon Stead rolls back moment of magic to cause another FA Cup shock
Brentford 0-1 Notts County: Jon Stead rolls back moment of magic to cause another FA Cup shock

Who says that the romance of the FA Cup is dead? The world's oldest professional club are through to the next round of the world's oldest cup competition thanks to one of their elder statesmen. Jon Stead was Notts County's hero as his moment of quality proved the difference at Brentford. He may be 34, and now playing in League Two, but this is a marksman who graced the Premier League for several years in his prime. At Griffin Park he produced a vintage display from those days in the top flight.



Watford 3-0 Bristol City: Etienne Capoue, Troy Deeney and Andre Carrillo strike to secure FA Cup
Watford 3-0 Bristol City: Etienne Capoue, Troy Deeney and Andre Carrillo strike to secure FA Cup

Andre Carrillo celebrated his match-winning goal by putting his hands to together to form the shape of a heart. Understrength teams and swathes of empty seats, this was the definition of underwhelming.



Fulham 4-1 Ipswich: Slavisa Jokanovic's men come from behind to run riot as Ryan Sessegnon shines
Fulham 4-1 Ipswich: Slavisa Jokanovic's men come from behind to run riot as Ryan Sessegnon shines

Ryan Sessegnon is being linked to Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur this transfer window. Fulham, however, will hope to keep the precocious 17-year-old around for one more play-off push. Despite playing left back, Fulham's top scorer popped up to score twice as Fulham came from behind to win emphatically, scoring four goals in seven second half minutes. Aboubakar Kamara netted the other two.



Reading 0-2 Birmingham: Jacques Maghoma and Sam Gallagher goals lift Steve Cotterill's off bottom
Reading 0-2 Birmingham: Jacques Maghoma and Sam Gallagher goals lift Steve Cotterill's off bottom

How last season’s Championship play-off final seems a long time ago now for Reading fans. Once lauded by the fans here, manager Jaap Stam was booed off at full-time after another lacklustre performance. Strikes from Jacques Maghoma and Sam Gallagher enough for Steve Cotterill’s Birmingham to record back-to-back victories for the first time this season and move off the bottom.



Southampton 1-2 Crystal Palace: Luka Milivojevic and James McArthur strikes secure comeback win
Southampton 1-2 Crystal Palace: Luka Milivojevic and James McArthur strikes secure comeback win

At Southampton, one long wait is over — but another goes on and the pain lingers. Shane Long ended his 325-day run without a goal as Mauricio Pellegrino’s side hinted at one of their finest performances of the season in the first half of this game. Forty-five minutes later and Crystal Palace were leaving with three points, Saints’ run without a win was up to nine games and there were chants of ‘sacked in the morning’ ringing around St Mary’s.



Stoke 0-1 Newcastle: Ayoze Perez scores second goal of the season to heap misery on Mark Hughes
Stoke 0-1 Newcastle: Ayoze Perez scores second goal of the season to heap misery on Mark Hughes

If Mark Hughes is planning any New Year’s resolutions, he may want to consider giving up gambling. The Welshman admitted that he played a weakened team in a 5-0 defeat at Chelsea two days ago to give Stoke a better chance of beating Newcastle, and the high-risk strategy backfired in the wind and rain here. Ayoze Perez grabbed a 73rd minute winner to send Newcastle above Stoke in the table as Hughes’s slipped back to two places above the relegation zone.



Watford 1-2 Swansea: Carlos Carvalhal records first victory as Swans boss after Jordan Ayew
Watford 1-2 Swansea: Carlos Carvalhal records first victory as Swans boss after Jordan Ayew

For 86 minutes, it was bleak. More splat than bounce, with only trace evidence that Swansea life under a fifth manager in two years was going to be any better. They were trailing to an Andre Carrillo header from the 11th minute and for all their huffing and puffing they were getting nowhere particularly fast, killing time until the gates to the Championship are opened in May. But how peculiar that this game should play out like this, a couple of days after Swansea made the slightly bewildering decision to appoint Carlos Carvalhal, a manager most recently sacked for struggling in the second tier. Funny game, and all that.
