The past two days have been packed full of drama thanks to the FA Cup fourth round, from lower division teams doing the impossible to inter-division clashes producing unexpected results.
Here's a catch-up of all the results that unfolded over the weekend.
The huge stories...
Manchester United 2-1 Leicester
Ruud van Nistelrooy was interim manager at Manchester United when his side thrashed Leicester 5-2 and 3-0 in the Carabao Cup and Premier League respectively.
This time, Van Nistelrooy entered Old Trafford as Leicester manager and was hoping to pull off an upset. And when Bobby De Cordova-Reid notched an opener for the Foxes in the 42nd minute, it looked to be that way.
A Joshua Zirkzee equalizer 25 minutes into the second half got an important goal back for Manchester United. But it was a controversial last-minute goal from Harry Maguire, who looked to be offside before scoring, that sealed the deal in the Red Devils' favor.
Birmingham 2-3 Newcastle
Birmingham were quick out the gates at St. Andrews, thanks to an Ethan Laird goal from a corner with less than two minutes on the clock.
Newcastle fought back with two of their own, with Joe Willock netting first and Callum Wilson following up. The headline-taker though would be Birmingham's second goal that saw them draw level - a wonderfully struck long shot from Tomoki Iwata that curved up into the top of the net.
Heading into half-time with the score 2-2, the second half was a much quieter affair. Jacob Murphy came close with a well-saved shot with twenty minutes to go, and Willock's second of the match broke the deadlock with eight left on the clock.
Plymouth 1-0 Liverpool
A heavily rotated Liverpool side struggled to get going against their Championship opponents in an afternoon in front of goal to forget. Despite managing 14 shots throughout the game, only four were on target - one of which was a Caoimhin Kelleher header.
Ryan Hardie's penalty eight minutes into the second half was the decider in a huge win for the Pilgrims. Darwin Núñez's attempt nine minutes into extra time almost pulled a goal back for the away favorites but did not fool Conor Hazard, who saved with confidence.
"Great game from Plymouth. Good gameplan and they deserve all the credit. We were not having a very good day. A result like this is the outcome."

Leyton Orient 1-2 Manchester City
Despite Manchester City’s challenging Premier League campaign, which is likely to end without a Premier League winners’ medal for the first time in four seasons, a trip to London to face Leyton Orient should have resulted in an easy win.
Instead, a brilliant strike from beyond the halfway line, courtesy of Orient's Jamie Donley, was clattered into the back of the net by Stefan Ortega to give the Mancunians a massive wake-up call.
Despite working hard all game, a fairytale ending was not to be for the O's. Two second-half goals for Manchester City thanks to Abdolkudir Khusanov and Kevin De Bruyne put the game to bed and sees City avoid another potential banana peel as they look to find stable ground.
