  2. Coventry hit five against Oxfordpublished at 14:19 Greenwich Mean Time 6 January

    Coventry City 5-2 Oxford United

    A seventh goal in Coventry!

    The Sky Blue respond well to Oxford United pulling one back, with an unmarked Matthew Godden calmly slotting the ball across goal and into the bottom right corner.

    Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes slides in on Alex Pritchard. He gets the ball and some of the man and goes into the book.

    I do not know how much Luke O'Nien knows about that, but it is another mistake because Sunderland are trying to play out from the back.

    How on earth is Hume not sent off there? You surely can't just give Gordon a yellow? That's really poor refereeing!

    I like the fact the referee wants to keep all of the players on the pitch. You want to do that at every opportunity.

    Coventry City 4-2 Oxford United

    Another goal in Coventry, but it's Oxford United who have pulled one back.

    The ball falls to Tyler Goodrham on the edge of the box after a corner. His first shot is blocked, but he gets a second chance and his low strike flies into the bottom left corner of the goal.

    Sunderland 0-2 Newcastle

    Sunderland almost fire themselves back into this game from nowhere.

    Alex Pritchard lashes in a thunderbolt from 30 yards which clips the crossbar.

    A home goal would make things interesting again.

    Maidstone United 1-0 Stevenage

    Less than 15 minutes of normal time left and non-league Maidstone are still holding on to a 1-0 lead against Stevenage, who are seventh in League One and ranked 69 places higher than their opponents.

    Stevenage have just hit the crossbar and the post from close range, the closest they have come to getting on the scoresheet today.

    Can Maidstone cling on and reach the fourth round for the first time?

    Chris Martin will be in Paradise if his Bristol Rovers side are the giant killers at Norwich today.

    But his relatives and friends may not be so happy, because he was born in nearby Beccles and played for Norwich City from the age of 10 to 25 before he left for Derby County in 2013.

    And four of the last eight goals he’s scored in this rejuvenated side have been in the 83rd minute or later, including an injury time double against Wycombe.
