Port Vale produced the shock of the FA Cup fifth round on Sunday with a 1-0 home win over Premier League side Sunderland, who sits 57 places above it in the league pyramid.
Bottom of League One, Port Vale reached the quarterfinals for the first time since 1954 thanks to Ben Waine's 29th-minute header. Sunderland enjoyed nearly 70 percent possession and registered 17 shots, but was unable to break down Vale's stubborn defense over the remaining hour.
Championship side Southampton also advanced to the last eight after Ross Stewart's stoppage-time penalty sealed a 1-0 victory away to Fulham, who peppered the visitors' goal and saw an 18th-minute strike controversially ruled out when the referee judged the ball to have been moving at a set piece.
Leeds United ensured there was no third upset with a 3-0 home win over Daniel Farke's former club Norwich City, thanks to goals from Sean Longstaff, Gabriel Gudmundsson and Joel Piroe.
Earlier, Premier League clubs Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool had all booked their places in the quarterfinals.
