The Game is Gone award

Wolves’ supporters were left scratching their heads after Toti’s late winner against Liverpool was disallowed after Matheus Nunes was allegedly found to be offside.

Reverse angle of the moment Hwang makes contact, Matheus Nunes would appear to be well onside. No wonder Julen Lopetegui was insistent that "the offside doesn't exist." Little wonder why Wolves so unhappy with the decision. #WWFC

The Save of the Weekend Award

Cardiff’s Joel Bagan produced a stunning save to keep Leeds at bay … sadly for his team he is an outfield player and saw red for this.

When its all said and done. This is actually a cracking save by Joel Bagan.

Sadly for the Chelsea goalkeeper, this was the outcome …

Julian Alvarez's penalty squeaks past Kepa and into the net ⚽ Manchester City are 2-0 up against Chelsea, who are on course to bow out of the FA Cup at the third round stage for the first time since 1998... 🎥 @EmiratesFACup #MCFC | #CFC | #FACup

The power of the cupset is still very much alive and kicking.

8 - Eight Premier League clubs have been knocked out of the 2022-23 FA Cup third round. This is the most top-flight sides to go out at this stage since 2007-08 (9), which was the last season to see a side from outside the Premier League reach the final (Cardiff). Opportunity.

The That’s Got to Hurt Award

Stevenage’s Twitter admin took the opportunity to ‘troll’ Philippe Coutinho and took it well.

66' - Philippe Coutinho comes off. The substitution took longer than usual as they had to dig him out of Luther James-Wildin's back pocket. #AVFC 1-0 #SFC ⚪️🔵

The King of the Cup Award

Phil Foden just really likes this competition, doesn’t he?

Chelsea fans singing: "We've had a shot."

The You Couldn’t Write This Script Award

National League side Wrexham’s 4-3 win over Coventry was one of the ties of the round.

Wrexham beat Coventry to reach the FA Cup 4th round for the first time since 1998/99. The Hollywood fairy-tale continues. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇺🇲
