Six clubs have booked their places in the quarter-finals of the Emirates FA Cup following fifth-round matches played on Sunday.

Championship side Southampton pulled off a dramatic upset, while League One strugglers Port Vale produced a giant-killing to advance.

Both teams join Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, and Liverpool, who had already secured their quarter-final spots.

Southampton secured a shock 1-0 victory over Premier League Fulham at Craven Cottage.

Their moment came in the first minute of stoppage time when Finn Azaz was fouled by Joachim Andersen, awarding Southampton a penalty, which Ross Stewart converted.

Later on Sunday, bottom-of-League One Port Vale stunned Premier League side Sunderland with a 1-0 win at Vale Park.

Ben Waine’s 28th-minute goal proved enough to secure the upset, sending the Valiants into the quarter-finals for the first time in 72 years.

Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, and Liverpool progressed from earlier fifth-round ties, defeating Mansfield Town, Wrexham, Newcastle United, and Wolverhampton Wanderers, respectively.

The remaining fifth-round matches see Leeds United host Norwich City later on Sunday (kick-off 16:30 GMT), with West Ham United taking on Brentford on Monday (19:30 GMT)
