The Premier League leaders dominated the League One strugglers from the outset and opened the scoring in the 11th minute. Eberechi Eze picked up the ball near the halfway line and played a defence-splitting pass for Noni Madueke who finished confidently past Sam Tickle. The hosts doubled their advantage seven minutes later, with Eze again providing an excellent assist - this time for Gabriel Martinelli to finish into the corner. Arsenal extended their lead when Jack Hunt scored an unfortunate own goal as he tried a clearance after good work between Bukayo Saka and Madueke. Saka was a late addition to the Gunners' starting XI, after Riccardo Calafiori pulled out of the warm-up with an injury, and the England winger played in an unfamiliar central midfield role. Saka's midfield partner for the day, Christian Norgaard, set up Gabriel Jesus for Arsenal's fourth, with the striker cleverly chipping over the onrushing Tickle. Their devastating opening burst meant Arsenal became the first Premier League side to score four goals in the opening half-hour of an FA Cup match. Wigan had a chance to net a consolation with one of their rare attacks but Kepa Arrizabalaga produced an excellent save to deny Joe Taylor, while substitute Viktor Gyokeres hit the post for the Gunners in the second half. Arsenal had not reached the fifth round since 2020 - the last time they won this competition, in Mikel Arteta's first season in charge, and their most recent trophy.

The hosts took a first-half lead through Curtis Jones before Salah set up Dominik Szoboszlai after the break, with the midfielder thumping home to cap a sweeping move. Ten minutes later Salah was brought down in the box and the Egypt winger blasted his penalty past Jason Steele to put the tie to bed. Brighton threatened in phases but paid the price for not taking their chances and have now only won two of their past 15 games. Liverpool have bounced back from losing to Manchester City last Sunday with an impressive win at Sunderland in midweek and another positive display against the Seagulls. Despite their struggles throughout the campaign, there is still plenty of life in their season. Both Reds boss Arne Slot and his Brighton counterpart Fabian Hurzeler resisted the urge to make wholesale changes from their midweek Premier League games and it was the visitors who made the stronger start. But Liverpool grew into the match and in the 42nd minute, Jones - who started the game at right-back and was making his first start since 17 January - got on the end of Milos Kerkez's cross and guided a finish past Steele. Brighton missed two good opportunities to level, with Alisson saving from Diego Gomez and Lewis Dunk either side of half-time. In the 56th minute, Szoboszlai doubled Liverpool's lead with his 10th goal of the campaign after a flowing team move. Virgil van Dijk found Cody Gakpo, who played a cross-field ball to Salah - and he delivered a superb touch to tee up the Hungarian, who finished emphatically. Hurzeler made a triple substitution after going 2-0 down, but it was to no avail as Salah was bundled over in the box by Pascal Gross after a dazzling run. The 33-year-old rifled his penalty into the top corner for his seventh goal of the season and arguably his best performance since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations last month. "It is very nice to have him on the scoresheet again," said Slot. "But what I like the most is he is scoring goals [which you] almost expect - but he also helps the team a lot defensively and that is something very positive." There was still time for Rio Ngumoha to come off the bench and put the ball in the back of the net with a delightful curling finish, but it was ruled out for offside despite replays suggesting otherwise. And with no VAR in operation until the fifth round of the FA Cup, the 17-year-old was desperately unlucky not to get on the scoresheet.

The England international, sidelined through December and January with a thigh injury, set the home side on their way to an eighth straight league victory when he crossed for Gonzalo Garcia to poke home after five minutes. Sociedad responded in the 21st minute when Mikel Oyarzabal levelled from the penalty spot following a foul inside the area. But parity only lasted four minutes as Real Madrid scored a penalty of their after Vinicius Jr was floored by Jon Aramburu. That advantage was extended six minutes later when Federico Valverde unleashed a powerful strike past Alex Remiro to leave the visitors reeling before the interval. The second half followed a similar pattern, with Vinicius scoring from the penalty spot again in the 48th minute to net his 10th goal of the season and seal the points for his side. The victory moves Real Madrid two points clear of Barcelona, who face Girona on Monday. Real Madrid are next in action on Tuesday, when they host Benfica in the Champions League play-offs. Real Sociedad, meanwhile, face Real Oviedo in La Liga on Saturday.

This was a fourth-round tie packed with drama, incident and goals at Villa Park as Newcastle channelled their frustration to turn the game on its head in impressive fashion in the second half. Although Aston Villa goalkeeper Marco Bizot was red-carded just before half-time, the visitors had been angered by a series of dubious calls from referee Chris Kavanagh and his officials, with the video assistant referee (VAR) not in operation for the competition's fourth round. Villa striker Tammy Abraham was not flagged offside when collecting a Douglas Luiz free-kick and putting the hosts ahead in the 14th minute. Kavanagh later awarded a free-kick outside the box rather than a penalty after Lucas Digne blocked Kieran Trippier's cross with his hand inside the area. The referee also showed Villa's French left-back a yellow card for a crunching late challenge on Jacob Murphy in the first half, which left the Newcastle forward with cuts on his shins. But the visitors showed their powers of recovery to fight back for an impressive success. It was from the free-kick following the Digne handball incident that Newcastle equalised in the 63rd minute. Substitute goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez could only parry Trippier's delivery into the path of Tonali, whose strike from outside the box took a wicked deflection before nestling into the net. It was the Italian midfielder's first goal since May, but he quickly doubled his tally for the campaign with a superb 76th-minute strike after he let fly with an unstoppable effort from distance. There was still time for Nick Woltemade to add a third - ending a 14-match goal drought on his 24th birthday - from close range to send the 6,500 travelling supporters into raptures. They had earlier vented their fury towards the officials after their side - who won the last of their six FA Cups in 1955 - fell behind in controversial circumstances. Abraham was offside when Luiz clipped a free-kick into the box, but the linesman's flag stayed down as the striker chested the ball down and hooked it into the net for his first goal since rejoining the club from Besiktas last month. But there were certainly no complaints from the visitors when Bizot was sent off following a moment of madness from the goalkeeper in first-half added time. Trippier sent Murphy through with a searching ball over the top after Villa forward Leon Bailey had given the ball away, with his team-mates still high up the pitch from an earlier corner. Dutchman Bizot rushed off his line and took Murphy out with a wild high challenge just inside Villa's half and with a couple of Newcastle players in support and one home player, it left Kavanagh with little option but to send him off. Eddie Howe's side made their extra man count to book their place in the fifth round at the expense of the seven-time winners.

The England captain converted his ninth penalty of the season in the 22nd minute after the video assistant referee (VAR) ruled Werder midfielder Senne Lynen had fouled teenager Lennart Karl in the box. Kane, 32, doubled Bayern's lead three minutes later with a well-struck effort from the edge of the box which went in off the post. His second strike brought up the milestone of 500 senior career goals in 743 games for both club and country, with 100 of those being penalties. Kane now has 41 goals for the Munich side this season, including 26 in the league, where they again pushed further clear of Borussia Dortmund, who beat Mainz 4-0 on Friday night. The only blemish for the visitors came at half-time when goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was replaced due to a calf problem, with Jonas Urbig replacing him. But Bayern added a third goal in the 70th minute to seal the success when Leon Goretzka took a touch on the edge of the box before drilling a strike into the bottom corner.
