The visitors established the platform for the success by taking a two-goal lead at half-time, with Emiliano Buendia and Morgan Rogers on target. Spurs, who lost Richarlison to a 31st-minute hamstring injury, improved vastly after the break and Wilson Odobert gave them hope when he pulled a goal back nine minutes after the restart. But Villa held the hosts at bay to send the eight-time winners out, with ugly scenes at the final whistle as players from both sides clashed, Spurs players seemingly unhappy with Rogers' celebrations in front of the elated visiting support. Unai Emery's men were dominant early on, Buendia taking advantage of good work by Donyell Malen to end a slick move with a powerful finish in the 22nd minute. Rogers doubled their lead in first-half stoppage time, finding space and time in the area from Buendia's clever flick to fire a low strike past Spurs keeper Guglielmo Vicario. Spurs fans reacted furiously at the half-time whistle, but were encouraged by the attacking intent shown by Frank's side in the second period. Odobert gave them a lifeline with a low drive beyond Marco Bizot for his second goal for the club. Spurs piled on the pressure, but failed to test Bizot enough and Pedro Porro kicked off the line to deny Buendia at the other end. As they celebrated a place in the fourth round, Spurs' crisis deepened with just two wins in 13 games.

Liberato Cacace and Ollie Rathbone struck in quick succession late in the opening half to put Wrexham in command, although Igor Jesus' eighth goal of the season in the 64th minute gave Forest hope. Dom Hyam restored Wrexham's lead with a header, but Callum Hudson-Odoi struck twice - including an 89th-minute leveller - as the tie went to penalties after a goalless extra-time. And keeper Arthur Okonkwo proved the home side's hero as he denied Jesus and Omari Hutchinson in the shootout as Phil Parkinson's men - under the watchful eye of co-owner Ryan Reynolds - won 4-3 on penalties to beat top-flight opposition for the first time since 1999 and progress into round four. Having gone into the match on the back of four successive Championship wins, Wrexham had plenty of cause for optimism against a Forest side that showed eight changes from their morale-boosting 2-1 victory at West Ham United three days earlier. After a low key start, Forest thought they had gone ahead on 18 minutes as Douglas Luiz drilled beyond Okonkwo from close range, only for the goal to eventually be chalked off due to handball by the Brazilian midfielder. The contest had been sparked into life as Rathbone had a shot blocked shortly before Okonkwo parried Luiz's drilled free-kick to safety at the other end. But shortly after Sam Smith dragged a shot wide, Wrexham took the lead in superb fashion. George Dobson robbed Hutchinson of possession and Cacace - on his first start in more than two months - rifled beyond Matz Sels from 20 yards in the 37th minute to register his first goal for the club in style. They were in dreamland just three minutes later as Nathan Broadhead picked out Rathbone who was the beneficiary of a fortunate ricochet off the legs of Morata, and he coolly slotted beyond Sels with his fourth goal in eight outings since returning from injury.

A goal in each half, scored by Brahim Diaz and Ismael Saibari, was enough to see off their opponents, who rarely threatened. Diaz tucked home from close range in the 26th minute after Ayoub El Kaabi's flick on from a corner, using his thigh to nudge the ball into the net for his fifth goal of the tournament. Saibari's goal also came from a set piece, firing home a low left-footed drive after picking up a loose ball from a free-kick. Played in a febrile atmosphere reminiscent of those produced by North African fans at the 2022 Fifa World Cup in Qatar, Walid Regragui's side never looked in any real danger during an ill-tempered encounter. Having now matched their historic run to the semi-finals in Qatar, Regragui's side are two wins away from claiming the country's first continental crown since 1976. Morocco are now unbeaten in 25 matches - a run stretching back to their last-16 exit at the 2023 edition of the finals - and are into the last four at an Afcon for the first time since 2004, when they went on to lose against Tunisia in the final. The Atlas Lions will have a huge home advantage again when they return to this stadium on Wednesday (20:00 GMT) to play the winners of Saturday's quarter-final between Algeria and Nigeria (16:00 GMT).

The Everton forward was on hand to convert from five yards after Mali goalkeeper Djigui Diarra failed to gather Krepin Diatta's low ball from the right. Diarra tipped a shot from El Hadji Malick Diouf on to the bar in first-half stoppage time, just before Eagles captain and Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma was sent off for a second bookable offence. Senegal keeper Edouard Mendy denied Abdoulaye Diaby in the second half in Tangier before Diarra made saves from Sadio Mane and Pathe Ciss. Ciss spurned another chance for the 2021 champions, shooting straight at Diarra after capitalising on a defensive error, and the Eagles keeper then diverted Lassine Camara's dipping volley on to the right-hand post in added time. Mali exit the tournament without winning a game after their repeated ill-discipline finally cost them, having had a man sent off for the third consecutive outing in Morocco. The Eagles will be happy to see the back of referee Abongile Tom, who was also in charge of their last-16 match against Tunisia and showed Woyo Coulibaly a straight red card. Senegal will discover their last-four opponents on Saturday when record seven-time champions Egypt face holders Ivory Coast in Agadir (19:00 GMT).

This was a disappointing game that ended on a notable sour note, with Arsenal substitute Gabriel Martinelli angering Liverpool in stoppage time when he crudely attempted to push Conor Bradley off the pitch after the defender went down close to the touchline with a painful knee injury. Martinelli was booked and Bradley was taken away on a stretcher with hands over his face. Arsenal, who had won their five previous Premier League matches, came into the match with a golden opportunity after title rivals Manchester City and Aston Villa both drew on Wednesday. Last season's champions Liverpool, who arrived in north London on a nine-match unbeaten run in all competitions, were without Hugo Ekitike which meant Arne Slot was forced to name a starting line-up without a recognised striker. The Gunners dominated the opening 45 minutes, but it was Liverpool who had the best chance when right-back Bradley seized on a mix-up between David Raya and William Saliba and sent a chipped effort against the crossbar. Arsenal fired a number of crosses into the box but there was nobody on hand to apply a finishing touch. Liverpool were then the better team in the second half and looked more of a threat going forward, but neither side could find a way to take the three points. The result means Arsenal stay comfortably top, six points ahead of their closest rivals, while Liverpool remain fourth.
