Preston v Tottenham: FA Cup fourth round – as it happened (The Guardian)

Minute-by-minute report: Two moments of second-half magic from Son Heung-min lit up an otherwise drab encounter, whgile Arnaut Danjuma scored on his Spurs ...

36 min: Spurs win a free-kick wide on the right, deep in Preston territory, in line with the front edge of the penalty area. 44 min: Now Sessegnon attempts to cross the ball from near the left touchline, only to see his effort intercepted by Alan Browne. Spurs have looked bereft of ideas in the face of a stout wall of white resistance. 67 min: From the left touchline, Ryan Ledson tries to send a cross into the Tottenham penalty area. Son and Perisic take it short and the South Korean creates an angle to get the ball into the Preston box. With his back to goal in the Preston penalty area, Son takes a fine pass around the corner from Perisic. “He receives the ball in nice areas and just basically passes it back to opposition while his defending makes TAA look a world class defender.” A seriously underwhelming first half is put out of its misery by referee Peter Bankes but Preston manager Ryan Lowe won’t care about the paucity of entertainment. It wasn’t much of a game and the first half was particularly dreary, but two moments of second-half class from Heung-min Son put the game beyond Preston before Arnaut Danjuma came off the bench to score on his debut. 62 min: Preston have responded well in the face of their Son-induced adversity. Perisic raises his left hand to signal his intention to whip the ball to the near post. They’re the positions I like to shoot from and in the first half I had two chances but the goalkeeper made good saves.

Manchester United vs. Reading FA Cup live updates: Start time ... (The Athletic)

Manchester United take on Championship side Reading in the fourth round of the FA Cup today. Erik ten Hag's side returned to winning ways on Wednesday when ...

Premier League mid-season review: Who wins the title? Who gets top four? There are many reasons loans make sense to even the biggest clubs. It is a question many Premier League clubs have been grappling with during this January transfer window and though only seven have replied in the affirmative, the fact that four of them belong to the traditional ‘Big Six’ - including Manchester United's acquisition of Wout Weghorst - proves that temporary transfers are by no means the preserve of those desperately scrambling to avoid relegation. Taking a three-goal lead into the home leg means Erik Ten Hag should be able to rotate his squad for today's match. I’m quite confident I can play a role. •2h ago (Photo: Getty Images) (Photos: Getty Images/Design: Sam Richardson) •36m ago •21m ago •6m ago

Tom Cairney rescues FA Cup replay for Fulham in draw with ... (The Guardian)

Tom Cairney cancelled out Jack Clarke's quickfire opener to earn Fulham a 1-1 draw with Sunderland in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Cairney took a touch, then another, then left a defender on the floor, and only when he was ready did the midfielder draw Fulham level by firing past Patterson. “The positive thing was the spirit of an extraordinarily young team,” Mowbray said. Diallo’s profligacy was a worry for Sunderland, whose promotion hopes could be hit by their striker Ross Stewart suffering a suspected torn achilles during the first half. The equaliser invigorated Fulham, who quickly introduced Willian and Mitrovic. Diallo, on loan from Manchester United, was a constant threat in attack, although they could have done with the forward showing more composure. “There’s a bit of frustration we didn’t see the game out. That was the trigger for Clarke. [Fulham](https://www.theguardian.com/football/fulham) that Sunderland, who lie a point off a playoff spot in the Championship, are moving in the right direction. Fulham, seventh in the Premier League, could not be accused of a lack of commitment. Sunderland’s left-winger knew to press Diop, whose distribution has never convinced, and it was too late by the time the Fulham centre-back tried to react; the ball had gone and Clarke was opening up his body to guide a smart finish beyond Marek Rodak. This richly entertaining game was all the better for both teams taking the FA Cup seriously. [defeat to Tottenham](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/jan/23/fulham-tottenham-premier-league-match-report) as an excuse for their slow start.

Fulham draw with Sunderland in FA Cup (West London Sport)

Fulham had to come from behind to secure an FA Cup fourth-round replay against Championship side Sunderland. Captain Tom Cairney's terrific effort after an ...

Cairney managed to wriggle past the attentions of a couple of Sunderland defenders just inside the penalty area before despatching a left footed drive low into the corner of the net. Tosin Adarabioyo almost nudged a stunned Fulham level from close range Fulham began to dominate the majority of the first half. The Whites – who rested a number of regular first-team players, including top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic and Tim Ream – were caught out on just six minutes when Issa Diop was robbed of possession on the right, allowing Clarke to stride forward into the penalty area and slide the ball home.

Casemiro scores twice, Man United beats Reading in FA Cup (Arab News)

MANCHESTER, England: Casemiro was a serial winner with Real Madrid and on Saturday he kept Manchester United's trophy hunt going strong in the FA Cup.

Then, in the 58th, he let fly from around 25 meters to double United’s lead. His influence was evident against a Reading team that withstood United’s dominance until the 54th minute. Leslie Adekoya, however, gave them something to cheer with a late consolation goal. 20 was in the previous round of the cup. His mastery was evident when Reading forward Andy Carroll’s frustration boiled over and he was sent off for a second yellow card after a wild challenge on Casemiro in the 65th. Ten Hag wanted to add his winning mentality to a team that had seen Manchester City and Liverpool dominate the Premier League in recent years.

Manchester United v Reading: FA Cup fourth round – as it happened (The Guardian)

Man Utd · 1. David de Gea · 29. Aaron Wan-Bissaka · 5. Harry Maguire · 2. Victor Lindelof · 12. Tyrell Malacia · 18. Carlos Casemiro · 14. Christian Eriksen · 21. dos ...

[a 4-0 win](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/jan/07/manchester-united-reading-fa-cup-match-report); two years later Romelu Lukaku clinched [a 2-0 win](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/jan/05/manchester-united-reading-fa-cup-match-report) for the home side. Ince will certainly be keen for his side to impress on the big stage, likewise Ince Jr (AKA Tom) who is of course among the visitors’ playing staff. United have hosted Reading twice in the last six years and on both occasions had little difficulty seeing them off. “We have to do everything to bring a trophy in.” Those were the words of Erik ten Hag in the wake of Manchester United’s waltz past Nottingham Forest on Wednesday to near enough book their ticket in the EFL Cup final. [Reading](https://www.theguardian.com/football/reading) make a hash of trying to clear. Tom Ince places his shot carefully into the centre of the United wall. Maguire is playing for his future at Old Trafford, and Carroll is the dictionary definition of “a handful”. Rashford then find Weghorst and when he gets the ball back on the edge of the box, he skips past Hoillett to win the foul. Loum burrows forward down the left and swings in a cross which clears both United centre-backs and sails towards Malacia, who decides to control the ball on his chest inside his own box. United double their lead instantly when Fred (who has just come on for Eriksen) lays the ball off to Casemiro 30 yards out and the Brazilian takes his chances with a first-time curler. He kills a crossfield pass dead, cuts in from the right and slips in Casemiro, who has made a rare run into the box beyond the United frontline. A third-gear win in the end, with Antony and Casemiro a class above everyone else.
