All White Scores Winner as Third Tier Strugglers Shock in FA Cup

Port Vale reached the quarter-finals for the first time since 1954 with Ben Waine's goal; Southampton won by penalty, both beating Premier League teams in the FA Cup fifth round.

  • On Sunday, Port Vale stunned Sunderland 1-0 at Vale Park to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals for the first time since 1954, with Ben Waine's 28th-minute header securing the win.
  • Gritty on a poor surface, Port Vale produced a determined display on a threadbare pitch while Sunderland, 57 places higher, appeared pedestrian and frustrated.
  • Ben Waine, 24-year-old New Zealand international, had also scored the midweek winner against Bristol City and said 'We are on a bit of a roll at the moment'.
  • Southampton secured progression with a late penalty as substitute Ross Stewart scored after Finn Azaz was fouled by Joachim Andersen, making them the first non-Premier League quarter-finalists.
  • The quarter-final line-up now includes Port Vale and Southampton alongside Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool, with Leeds United hosting Norwich City on Sunday and West Ham United facing Brentford on Monday.
