Tranmere 2-1 Watford (AET)
League One Tranmere shocked Premier League Watford in an FA Cup third-round replay to set up a tie against 12-time winners Manchester United.
In a game rescheduled from earlier in the month because of a waterlogged pitch, Rovers capitalised on a hugely under-strength Hornets and best navigated a dire, sand-covered Prenton Park surface to finally settle the tie in extra-time.
Substitute striker Paul Mullin, who came off the bench to score a late penalty at Vicarage Road and complete a remarkable Rovers comeback from 3-0 down to set up this replay, went one better with a headed winner 14 minutes into the extra 30.
The Hornets had come back themselves in normal time, with Kaylen Hinds firing in through a mass of players to level after Emmanuel Monthe had given the home side the lead.
The silver lining for Nigel Pearson's side is that they will not have to play what would have been a fourth game in nine days in the fourth round on Sunday, and will instead be able to focus all their efforts on avoiding relegation from the top flight.
Tranmere, though, get to do this all over again at the weekend, hosting Manchester United with an even greater shock in mind and on a pitch unlike any other the Red Devils will have played on this campaign.

So this is how the draw for the fourth round now looks.

Watford don't deserve anything out of this game. Tranmere have been alert all game and have won every single battle.

They've done it!
League One Tranmere have knocked out a youthful Watford side and what a reward for Micky Mellon's side as Manchester United will be at Prenton Park in round four on Sunday.
Watford are at the wrong end of the pitch.

One minute to go.

Watford launch it forward, but excellent from Emmanuel Monthe as he rises high to head it clear.

Every clearance is cheered by the home fans. Neither side looks to have anything left after nearly 120 minutes on a pudding of a pitch. Tranmere can see the finish line.

Substitute Paul Mullin is struggling with cramp and the potential Tranmere match-winner will not finish the game on the pitch. On comes Stefan Payne.

A tired, sliced clearance gives Watford a throw in a good position. Mason Barrett takes it and is then able to swing a cross into the penalty area, but Tranmere fans can breathe a bit easier as their team hack it clear.

Ten to go. Tranmere, 21st in League One, are 10 minutes away from a cup upset.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his Manchester United side are, as it stands, heading to the sand and mud of Prenton Park on Sunday.

It's very early to go into the corner looking to time waste. But that's what Tranmere are trying, but it's not long before Watford get the ball back.

Which is good as it gives me another excuse to show this picture of Henry, with his dad at the 2000 FA Cup final.

In the last action of the first period of extra-time, Kieron Morris shoots just wide. Great entertainment for a Thursday night.
Fifteen to go. A Watford equaliser would take us to penalties. Can Tranmere hold on?
