At least three teams have advanced to the fourth round of this season’s FA Cup after the initial third-round matches concluded on Thursday night. Everton, who dismissed Sean Dyche as their manager earlier that day, defeated Peterborough United 2-0. Beto scored the first goal for the Toffees at Goodison Park just before halftime, and Iliman Ndiaye secured their advancement with a penalty in the 98th minute. Sheffield United were eliminated after a 1-0 loss at home to Cardiff City, with Cian Ashford scoring the only goal in the 19th minute. Fulham overcame a challenge from Watford to win 4-1 at Craven Cottage. Rodrigo Muniz opened the scoring for Fulham in the 26th minute, but Rocco Vatta equalized seven minutes later. Raul Jimenez put Fulham back in the lead with a penalty in the 49th minute, followed by goals from Joachim Andersen and Timothy Castagne to secure the win. More third-round matches will take place over the weekend, with the key match being Arsenal vs. Manchester United at the Emirates.
