Wrexham, Stevenage, Blackpool...the list goes on.

FA Cup third round weekend has been one heck of a roller-coaster ride with upsets everywhere you look.

And it's not over. League One Oxford United take on Premier League leaders and record-14 time winners Arsenal on Monday (20:00 GMT).

Another giant-killing? See you back here for that one.

 

More from Aston Villa boss Unai Emery on whether he feels he made too many changes: "Not completely. If I am starting again the match, I will play with the same players because we have our plan and we have players with experience and as well they are training every day to help the team and they have performance as well.

"This match, we can lose with other players on the bench or with the players we lost with. But now is the time we have to be together and continue working as this is our process and we can't be too disappointed.

"But we can look at each one because everyone has to be critical with himself."

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery, speaking to Match of the Day: "We played the first half being difficult and trying to keep calm with the ball and don't concede the transition and don't concede the long ball and to take chances.

"And then slowly, we had to impose are ideas - and we did it. But then we didn't be consistent in 45 minutes to do more advantage in the tie. In the second half, we improve. We created chances and we controlled the match better than the first half.

"But when you don't score, a goal could come and in the end our mistake for the goal and they score. They were so excited to try and surprise us in the corner and they did it.

"I'm really sorry for the supporters. It's a process We are here and I want to create. Today was really so, so disappointing. We can feel because at the end we lost everything we created in the 80 minutes."
