FA Cup fourth round scores
Barnsley 1-0 Norwich
Brighton 2-1 Blackpool
Millwall 0-3 Bristol City
Sheffield United 2-1 Plymouth
Swansea 5-1 Nottingham Forest
West Ham 4-0 Doncaster
Full-time: West Ham 4-0 Doncaster Rovers
The Hammers led from the second minute and didn’t let up. Not a fun day out for the South Yorkshiremen.
Full-time: Millwall 0-3 Bristol City
Gary Rowett’s team are not on form, and the Robins made short work of them.
Full-time: Brighton 2-1 Blackpool
A second consecutive win for the first time in a long time for Graham Potter’s team.
Full-time: Swansea 5-1 Nottingham Forest
Great stuff from Swansea, hopeless from Forest.
Full-time: Barnsley 1-0 Norwich
A good win for the Tykes against the league leaders.
Full-time: Rangers 5-0 Ross County. And Steven, one of the few football men known by his first-name (Brendan is another, as is Rafa. And Kenny. It’s Liverpool, isn’t it?), is sitting pretty.
Goal! Swansea 5-1 Nottingham Forest (Cooper, 84)
Forest have been hopeless and concede on the counter. Swansea were queueing up to score and it’s Oliver Cooper who gets it.
Derby are still leading at QPR, and Wayne Rooney is on course to claim his first away win of his managerial career. Into the last five minutes of that game now.
Blackpool are pushing on against Brighton but Maupay has gone close and really should have scored. All he could do was hit the goalkeeper. Two matches that may go to extra time are this one and the game at Bramall Lane. And between Barnsley and Norwich.
Rangers now 5-0 up on Ross County, with Connor Goldson supplying it.
Goal! West Ham 4-0 Doncaster (Afolayan, 78)
Ryan Fredericks comes down the right and his shot is palmed into the path of Afolayan for his first ever West Ham goal.
Goal! Sheffield United 2-1 Plymouth Argyle (Camara, 75)
Nice move from the Pilgrims as the ball is cut back. Camara’s finish is a little soft and Aaron Ramsdale will be very disappointed with that. Game on at Bramall Lane!
Goal! Millwall 0-3 Bristol City (Semenyo, 72)
A driving run, and a lovely cool finish from Antoine Semenyo. Millwall have been bad but Bristol City have been very good at the Den.
In League One, Ipswich’s Paul Lambert purgatory continues, with Peterborough leading 1-0 at Portman Road thanks to a Mark McGuinness OG.
Goal! Swansea 4-1 Nottingham Forest (Cullen, 67)
Another Cullen goal, another move from the left and he slots home. Nice and easy for Steve Cooper’s men, more trouble for Chris Hughton.
Final scores in the Bundesliga, and big losses for RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen. A good day for Bayern then.

Rangers now 4-0 up on Ross County, and with Ryan Jack getting the goal.
Goal! Swansea 3-1 Nottingham Forest (Grimes, 61 pen)
That was a soft penalty, one born of simulation as Joe Worrall wafts a leg at Ryan Manning and referee Kevin Friend gives it. Grimes steps up and scores from the spot.
Goal! Swansea 2-1 Nottingham Forest (Knockaert, 56)
Forest get back into it, as Knockaert scores from inside the box. Forest have stepped it up.
Goal! Brighton 2-1 Blackpool (Alazte, 58)
Mac Allister’s long-range shot is deflected and Graham Potter’s team have a lead they perhaps do not deserve.
Goal! Millwall 0-2 Bristol City (Wells, 58)
Millwall’s horror run continues, as Nakhi Wells’ free-kick comes off the wall and into the net.
Wayne Rooney’s Derby County have the lead at QPR after a half-time change of shape and it’s Colin Kazim Richards who slots home.
Goal! Barnsley 1-0 Norwich (Styles, 56)
The ball is switched back across and Styles, the full-back, beats Tim Krul. The ball bobbled along.
Goal! West Ham 3-0 Doncaster (Butler, 54 own-goal)
Doncaster’s day is not going well. It’s a an unfortunate own-goal by Andy Butler.
Into the last 15 minutes in the Bundesliga, where Eintracht Frankfurt are leading Arminia Bielfeld 5-1, their latest goal scored by the returned Luka Jovic.
Goal! Sheffield United 2-0 Plymouth (Sharp, 47)
Oliver Norwood’s pass and Billy Sharp does not miss from there. The Pilgrims will not be progressing.
In La Liga, Sevilla are 2-0 up on Cadiz, with Youssef En-Nesyri getting both.
Half-times in League One and League Two
- Charlton Athletic 0-2 Swindon Town

- Oldham Athletic 2-2 Newport County
- Port Vale 1-1 Walsall
- Southend United 0-0 Mansfield Town
- Tranmere Rovers 1-0 Bolton Wanderers
But what’s this? Roma have won 4-3 v Spezia, with Lorenzo Pellegrini getting the winner in the 92nd minute. That cements third place for them.
Wayne Rooney looks rueful as he lopes down the Loftus Road tunnel. QPR are having the better of it and Wayne Rooney’s Derby County are lucky to be level at 0-0 going into half-time.
A shocker in Serie A as Spezia equalise in the last minute against Roma. It’s 3-3. Some contrasting social media reactions.
Half-time in the FA Cup
Barnsley 0-0 Norwich
Brighton 1-1 Blackpool
Millwall 0-1 Bristol City
Sheffield United 1-0 Plymouth
Swansea 2-0 Nottingham Forest
West Ham 2-0 Doncaster
Goal! Brighton 1-1 Blackpool (Madine, 45+2)
Lovely striker’s goal from Gary Madine, the ball comes in from the left and is steered home.
Rangers now three up, and Joe Aribo has just made Steven Gerrard’s afternoon sweeter. RB Leipzig are losing 3-2 to Mainz, by the way. Tyler Adams of the USA has scored his first Bundesliga goal.
Goal! Sheffield United 1-0 Plymouth (Basham, 39)
A well-worked goal, and the play is switched back across for Basham to slot in. It had been coming.
Goal! Millwall 0-1 Bristol City (Diedhiou, 32 pen)
Vyner slips in Diédhiou who is brought down by Fielding. He gets up to smash home from the spot.
Goal! West Ham 2-0 Doncaster Rovers (Yarmolenko, 32)
Nice pass from Benrahma, even better dinked finish from the Ukrainian.
Goal! Swansea 2-0 Nottingham Forest (Grimes, 29)
Looks like the Swans are flying through, and Matt Grimes scores from 25 yards out with a left foot shot. Lyle Taylor is lying in the back of the net as it goes in.
Rangers have doubled their lead against Ross County, with Filip Helander getting the second.
Goal! Brighton 1-0 Blackpool (Bissouma, 27)
What a strike, and from 35 yards out. Pick that one out. Blackpool had been defending well until that.
