FA Cup round-up: Aston Villa stunned by TWO last-gasp goals from League Two Stevenage in yet another giant-killing
STEVENAGE secured the biggest shock of the FA Cup third as they dumped out Aston Villa.
The League Two side battled back from behind with two late goals to stun a shellshocked Villa Park.
It all looked comfortable for Unai Emery's men, who sit 59 places above their opponents in the football pyramid, when Morgan Sanson opened the scoring.
But the whole tie changed in the 85th minute when Leander Dendoncker was punished for his heavy touch on the edge of his area.
The Belgian tugged Dean Campbell to the ground and was sent off then, after a long VAR check, Jamie Reid buried his penalty on 88 minutes.
Then two minutes later, Villa switched off from a short corner and allowed Campbell to blast past Robin Olsen and record a famous win.
In the other late kick-off, Manchester City outclassed Chelsea with a very comfortable 4-0 win.
Riyad Mahrez started the drubbing with a wonderful free-kick before a Julian Alvarez penalty then Phil Foden's finish.
Mahrez completed the rout from the spot on another miserable afternoon for Graham Potter.
City will face either Arsenal or Oxford in the blockbuster standout tie of the fourth-round draw.
