We took a break from Premier League action to enjoy one of the most highly-anticipated weekends of the season - the FA Cup third round.

Let's take a look at some of our favourite statistics as the big guns joined the action.

Spot on

Blunt Spurs

For 90 minutes at the Lamb Ground, fifth-tier Tamworth were going toe-to-toe with Tottenham - that's the magic of the cup.

Father and son

It's been a tough start to life at Liverpool for Federico Chiesa but the Italy international finally scored at Anfield, 29 years after his dad did the same.

Loves the cup

Bruno Fernandes loves the FA Cup. How else to explain the Manchester United man's goal and assist numbers since joining the club in 2020.

Jack of some trades

Last year was one to forget for Jack Grealish with the Manchester City man failing to score a single goal in 12 months. Thankfully 2025 has started with a bang for the English midfielder.
