MATCH REPORT
- Tottenham 2:2 Leicester
Harry Kane's controversial late penalty kept Tottenham in the FA Cup as the striker's leveller earned Spurs a third-round replay against Leicester.
Kane fired home from the spot after Nathan Dyer had been penalised for handball, to the visitors' anger.
Christian Eriksen had opened the scoring, firing in low after Kasper Schmeichel parried Nacer Chadli's shot.
Marcin Wasilewski's header levelled before substitute Shinji Okazaki gave the visitors a lead they lost late on.
- Chelsea 2 : 0 Scunthorpe United
Diego Costa 13′Loftus-Cheek 68′
Chelsea moved into the fourth round of the FA Cup with a professional victory over League One side Scunthorpe United.
The hosts took an early lead when Branislav Ivanovic's right-wing cross was diverted in by Diego Costa, under pressure from two Scunthorpe defenders.
Excellent goalkeeping from Scunthorpe's Luke Daniels saw him tip over powerful efforts from Cesc Fabregas and Pedro.
But Chelsea ended the Iron's resistance when Ruben Loftus-Cheek steered in Cesar Azpilicueta's low cross for 2-0.
- Oxford Utd 3:2 Swansea
Goal Scorers
(For Oxford Utd: Sercombe 45′ (pen)Roofe 49′, 59) (For SwanseaMontero 23′Gomis 66′)
Kemar Roofe scored twice as League Two Oxford knocked Premier League strugglers Swansea out of the FA Cup.
The in-form hosts recovered from Jefferson Montero's sublime strike to score either side of half-time.
Liam Sercombe levelled from the penalty spot before Roofe curled into the bottom corner from 20 yards.
And Roofe finished off a counter-attack to ensure Oxford reached the fourth round for the first time in 17 years, despite a Bafetimbi Gomis strike.
Swansea's rally came too late and the home side fully deserved their place in the next round following a vibrant performance.
The U's are third in League Two and a number of their young players impressed against a Swansea team that surrendered possession too often and looked shaky at the back in the absence of skipper Ashley Williams.
- Carlisle 2- 2 Yeovil
Shaun Jeffers' late strike meant Yeovil secured an FA Cup third-round replay against fellow League Two side Carlisle by coming from behind twice.
The Blues looked to be on course for the fourth round for the first time in 19 years after Mark Ellis' 76th-minute header put his side in front.
Yeovil striker Francois Zoko's header had earlier cancelled out Carlisle captain Danny Grainger's free-kick.
But Jeffers scored an 18-yard equaliser in the third minute of injury time.
The game was played at Blackpool's Bloomfield Road because of flood damage at Carlisle's Brunton Park.
That did not unsettle the 'hosts', and Grainger clipped a left-footed strike into the top corner via a slight deflection off the wall on 25 minutes.
After the interval, the same player struck the bar with a dipping volley, with striker Charlie Wyke only able to divert the ball against the post on the follow-up.
Zoko then rose highest to head Darren Ward's cross over Carlisle goalkeeper Dan Hanford on 71 minutes, only for Ellis to surge into the six-yard box and turn in Alex Gilliead's free-kick five minutes later.
The Glovers continued to come forward and substitute Jeffers fired into the bottom corner from the edge of the area to force a replay.
