    Former Premier League striker on BBC Radio 5 Live at Blundell Park

    Manchester United have been more threatening in this second half but Grimsby have that threat on the counter. Gardner with his pace has the beating of Maguire.

    As a United fan this has been woeful. Could be worse though, could be Rangers in Bruges.....

    Joe, thankfully not in Grimsby

    Russell Martin's side are down to ten men and trail 6-0 on the night (9-1 on aggregate) after 54 minutes.

    You can follow the remainder of that tie here.

    United might not be playing in Stoke, but they clearly can't do it on a wet Wednesday night....

  10. Grimsby 2-0 Man Utd

    It is absolutely chucking it down at Grimsby now but it isn't dampening the mood of the Grimsby fans. If anything they are singing even louder.

  11. 'Something special from Alcaraz'

    Everton 1-0 Mansfield

    Michael Bridges
    Former Sunderland and Leeds striker on Sky Sports+

    It was going to take something special to beat Mansfield Town's keeper because he's made some marvellous saves, and it certainly was from Carlos Alcaraz.

    Marvellous goal.

  12. 'Should have been game, set and match'

    Grimsby Town 2-0 Man Utd

    Chris Sutton
    Former Premier League striker on BBC Radio 5 Live at Blundell Park

    This is amazing. Grimsby are three on one in the box and it really should have been game, set and match. When the ball is pulled back to Burns he should really go back across, he instead goes to the left of Onana who flings himself towards it. What a chance to go 3-0 up.

  13. Finally

    Everton 1-0 Mansfield

    Shamoon Hafez
    BBC Sport football news reporter at Hill Dickinson Stadium

    Everton have been knocking on the door and finally get the breakthrough.

    It's a lovely finish from Carlos Alcaraz, will that open the floodgates?

  14. CLOSE!

    Oxford 0-3 Brighton

    Oh almost a third for Grimsby as good work down the left ends with Darragh Burns' clipped shot being deflected behind by Ayden Heaven.

    Grimsby players appeal for handball but nothing is given.

  15. goal

    GOAL - Everton 1-0 Mansfield

    Charly Alcaraz (51 mins)

    They couldn't weather the storm!

    Harrison Armstrong tees up Charly Alcaraz on the edge of the box and he strikes a stunning curling effort into the top corner.

    A really clean to score Everton's first cup goal in the new stadium.

    If a team in League Two cutting through the team and exploiting the flaws in our set up doesn't make Amorim question whether the system works, then I'm not sure anything will.

  18. GREAT SAVE!

    Everton 0-0 Mansfield

    Jack Grealish works the ball on his right foot and fires at Liam Roberts but the Mansfield saves well before it's turned behind for a corner.
