Gill ClarkJan 16, 2018

West Ham United survived a huge scare in the FA Cup third round as they needed extra-time to beat Shrewsbury Town of League One at London Stadium on Tuesday.

Elsewhere, Leicester City ended third-tier Fleetwood Town's FA Cup dreams, with Kelechi Iheanacho scoring twice for the Foxes at the King Power Stadium.

The game was also notable as the Nigeria international's second goal was the first to be awarded by the video assistant referee in English football.

West Ham United 1-0 Shrewsbury Town (aet)

Reading 3-0 Stevenage

Tuesday Recap

West Ham boss David Moyes made plenty of changes to his team for the visit of Shrewsbury, but there was still plenty of experience with Joe Hart, Manuel Lanzini and Andre Ayew all starting.

However, the Hammers created little throughout, and the visitors had the best chance of the game just after the hour mark, per sports journalist Tom Allnutt:

Moyes sent on Marko Arnautovic and Mark Noble in search of a winner but could not find a breakthrough as Shrewsbury forced extra-time.

The Telegraph's Matt Law said Hammers' fans were not impressed:

With penalties looming, West Ham finally made the breakthrough when Reece Burke fired home his first Hammers goal with a sweet strike that went in off the crossbar in the 112th minute.

It's still a fairly embarrassing result for West Ham, but nonetheless they are safely through to the fourth round where they will face either Bournemouth or Wigan Athletic, who replay on Wednesday.

Leicester found it tough going against League One Fleetwood despite naming a lineup featuring Riyad Mahrez, Iheanacho, Adrien Silva and Islam Slimani.

The Foxes struggled to create any clear-cut chances initially, with the visitors forcing goalkeeper Eldin Jakupovic into a couple of good saves.

Football commentator Arlo White illustrated how Leicester toiled in front of goal:

The hosts finally broke the deadlock just before half-time when Slimani sent a ball over the top for Iheanacho, who took a touch before racing through on goal and finishing clinically.

Opta showed how the striker has a good record in the FA Cup:

Iheanacho then had a goal chalked off in the second half, after the ball had gone out of play in the buildup, before grabbing his second to make the tie safe.

The striker was slipped in by Mahrez and finished calmly, and although it was originally given as offside, the goal was eventually given after referee Jon Moss consulted with the VAR.

Henry Winter at The Times said the technology worked perfectly:

Leicester will now head to League One Peterborough United in the fourth round.

Meanwhile, Cardiff will host Manchester City next after they saw off Mansfield Town. But the hosts did welcome a special guest for the tie, as shown by Stags chief executive officer Carolyn Radford:

The visitors went ahead through Bruno Ecuele Manga, but their lead lasted just a minute before Hayden White crossed for Danny Rose to fire home.

However, the Championship side took control after the break as goals from Junior Hoilett and an Anthony Pilkington strike secured a comfortable win.

Sheffield Wednesday booked their spot in the fourth round with victory over Carlisle United. 

Marco Matias opened the scoring after just 28 minutes, as shown by Match of the Day:

Striker Atdhe Nuhiu then added the second after the break, firing low into the bottom corner. Sports journalist George Smith was impressed with the finish:

Wednesday will now play Reading in the fourth round after they beat League Two Stevenage at the Madejski Stadium, thanks to Jon Dadi Bodvarsson's hat-trick.

The two teams lined up in similar colours, which made for a kit clash, per sports reporter Ian Baker:

Both teams struggled in a poor first half, but the hosts broke the deadlock just after the half-hour mark as Bodvarsson volleyed home at the far post.

The Iceland international then all but secured victory just minutes before half-time with a diving header that went in off the post.

Commentator Chris Wise was impressed with his effort but not the game itself:

Meanwhile, Reading confirmed they had changed their kit at the break:

The evening got even better for Bodvarsson as he tapped home his third for his first hat-trick in English football.
