Two non-league teams have reached the fifth round of the FA Cup for the first time after a weekend of shocks.

Sutton and Lincoln both upset Championship opposition while Liverpool were the biggest casualties as they lost at home to Wolves.

Forty-seven years after losing 6-0 to Leeds at the same stage of the competition and 28 years after their famous upset of Coventry, National League side Sutton reached the fifth round for the first time thanks to Jamie Collins' second-half penalty.

Lincoln 3 Brighton 1

Lincoln trailed Championship promotion-chasers Brighton but turned things around superbly in the second half. Alan Power drew them level from the penalty spot before a Fikayo Tomori own goal and a late effort from Theo Robinson completed a famous victory.

A miserable week for Liverpool saw them exit a second cup competition, with Jurgen Klopp's side unable to respond to a brilliant first half from Wolves.

Richard Stearman scored in the opening minute, with Andreas Weimann adding a second, and Daniel Sturridge's late goal was not enough.

Oxford 3 Newcastle 0

League One Oxford thumped Newcastle at the Kassam Stadium thanks to three goals in the second half.

Kane Hemmings netted the opener and, after Simon Eastwood saved Aleksandar Mitrovic's penalty, Curtis Nelson and Toni Martinez ensured the Us took full advantage.

Hull joined Liverpool in exiting a second cup competition in a week in a dramatic match.

Evandro cancelled out Sone Aluko's opener but Chris Martin, Ryan Sessegnon and Stefan Johansen all scored before Fulham goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli saved two Abel Hernandez penalties in as many minutes.
