FA Cup third round: Newport stun Leicester as Manchester City put seven past Rotherham

Re-live the action from the FA Cup third round

Pep Guardiola on title race and Vincent Kompany's challenge on Mo Salah

Newport delivered a huge FA Cup shock at a rocking Rodney Parade to beat Leicester 2-1 and pile the pressure on Foxes manager Claude Puel.

County bridged a gap of 74 places on the league ladder after Jamille Matt's early header was cancelled out eight minutes from time, Rachid Ghezzal's thunderous leveller having seemingly spared the Premier League visitors.

But three minutes later Marc Albrighton handled Vashon Neufville's cross on the corner of the box and Padraig Amond stroked home the resulting penalty.

It was no less than Newport, 12th in Sky Bet League Two and with only one win in all competitions since the end of November, deserved and rekindled memories of their cup heroics from last season.

Elsewhere, Manchester City put seven past Rotherham, Fulham and Sheffield United were stunned by lower-league opposition, and there were dramatic wins for QPR and Millwall. Re-live it all in the live blog below:

Newport 1 - 0 Leicester

Chance for Leicester!

The ball is squared into Newport's box and Iheanacho can't tip it towards goal. The ball is only cleared as far as Maddison who takes a shot that's blocked and Newport punt it as far forward as they can manage.

Newport 1 - 1 Leicester - Ghezzal

It's been coming, it's been coming all game.

Maddison is played into the box and he hits the ball towards goal, Joe Day makes a great save low to his right but the ball comes out to Ghezzal who hammers a shot back at the goalkeeper. Day gets two hands to the ball but only manages to parry it into the post and Leicester are level!
