Brentford 1-1 Sunderland: Enzo Le Fée Penalty Denies Brentford the Win They Needed
Sunderland took the lead through Vitaly Janelt's second-half strike, but Enzo Le Fée converted a late penalty to earn Brentford a point they will feel is not enough. A draw that suits nobody.
Fulham 2-3 Crystal Palace: Tyrick Mitchell Brace Punishes Wasteful Hosts at Craven Cottage

Witton Albion Win 2-0 at Avro: Steele and Hoyle Strike Early to Seal FA Cup Progress

Bournemouth Win 2-1 at St. James' Park as Newcastle Squander Dominance
Bournemouth took all three points at St. James' Park despite Newcastle United creating the better chances, with two first-half goals proving enough to sink the hosts. Connor Maguire has no sympathy for a Newcastle side that did the hard work and threw it away.
