The Giant Killing Award

Well, it wouldn’t be an FA Cup third round without it would it? Joe Ironside wheeling away in celebration will live long in Cambridge (and Newcastle) memories.


The Time and Place Award

If you’re going to steal Cristiano Ronaldo’s celebration, then doing it after your side take the lead at Anfield is definitely the appropriate occasion.


The Accidental Hero Award

Sorry, Harry Winks. If you try to claim this was intentional, we’re having none of it.


The Out With a Whimper Award

Not the way Arsenal would have wanted to exit the tournament.


The History Maker Award

How old does this make you feel?


The Keep It In The Family Award

Three generations of the Wright clan have now been represented in English football. Lovely, wholesome stuff.


The Cup Controversy Award

The Leeds camp were furious that this goal stood. Did they have a point?


The Better Late Than Never Award

Eight years after his debut, Lewis Baker finally made another appearance for Chelsea against Chesterfield.


The Leave It To The Professionals Award

Oh Jack Butland. Let the outfielders do the dribbling. Luckily, his team-mates saved his blushes.


The Long Overdue Award

Let’s not make it another year Roberto.


The French Connection Award

Mbuemo also became the first substitute to score an FA Cup hat-trick in eight years.


The Magic of the Cup Award

And finally, this is what it’s all about. They’ve been rewarded with a tie against West Ham. The fairytale run continues!
