League Two side Crawley Town shocked premier league side Leeds United with a 3-0 win at the Broadfield Stadium in their FA Cup third round tie.

Nick Tsaroulla, playing only his seventh game in senior football, opened the scoring for Crawley on 50 minutes.

United keeper Kiko Casilla's error allowed Ashley Nadesan to double the lead three minutes later, before Jordan Tunnicliffe added a third for Crawley, who could have won by more.

While, Tottenham made short work of their meeting with non-league Marine as Carlos Vinicius scored a 13-minute hat-trick with goals from Lucas Moura and Alfie Devine seeing spurs to a 5-0 win.

Meanwhile Premier League Brighton and Hove Albion needed penalties to advance past league two’s Newport County.

Solly March had put Brighton ahead in the final minute of the game, but Newport equalised in the sixth minute of injury time as goal keeper Jason Steele spilled a cross which Adam Webster could only turn into his own net.
