Only way is out as Leeds are stunned

- BY ED ELLIOTT

LEEDS found themselves on the end of a major FA Cup third-round giant-killing as they were stunned 3-0 by League Two Crawley.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side were reeling from two goals inside three secondhalf minutes from Nick Tsaroulla and Ashley Nadesan.

Leeds attempted to claw their way back into the game only for Jordan Tunnicliff­e to finish them off with 20 minutes remaining and secure a memorable scalp for the Sussex club.

To rub salt in the wounds Crawley even handed a debut to former reality TV star Mark Wright as a late substitute, but the only way was out of the cup for Leeds.

Tottenham came through their trip to eighth-tier minnows Marine unscathed, although Jose Mourinho’s side were given a fright before registerin­g a 5-0 win.

With 20 minutes gone and the score goalless, Neil Kengni broke into the Spurs half and let fly from about 30 yards with a shot which crashed against Joe Hart’s crossbar.

Three minutes later Tottenham went ahead through Carlos Vinicius, who was leading the line.

Vinicius helped himself to two more and Lucas Moura chipped in before half-time with a sublime freekick, with Alfie Devine becoming Spurs’ youngest ever player and goalscorer at 16 years and 163 days in the second half.

There were also comfortabl­e wins for Chelsea and Manchester City.

Frank Lampard named a strong

Blues side against League Two Morecambe as he attempted to kickstart their stuttering season.

And he was rewarded with goals from birthday boy Mason Mount, Timo Werner, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Kai Havertz in a 4-0 victory.

City also cruised into the fourth round as two goals from Bernardo Silva and a third from Phil Foden wrapped up a 3-0 win over Birmingham before half-time.

Chorley and Blackpool had provided the main shocks in Saturday’s action.

National League North outfit Chorley booked their place in tonight’s fourth round draw for the first time with a 2-0 win over a youthful Derby side.

Connor Hall headed the hosts in front in the 10th minute, which left Derby – with an average age of just 19 – facing an uphill battle, before Mike Calveley made sure with a closerange finish in the 84th minute.

League One Blackpool shocked Premier League strugglers West Brom with a 3-2 penalty shoot-out win at Bloomfield Road after the tie had finished 2-2 after extra-time.

Burnley were given a scare before coming through a penalty shoot-out 4-3 to beat MK Dons after a 1-1 draw at Turf Moor.

Holders Arsenal beat Newcastle 2-0 after extra-time at the Emirates Stadium, while Leicester saw off Stoke 4-0 and Scott McTominay scored the only goal in Manchester United’s 1-0 win over Watford.
