Leicester came from behind to beat Brentford and reach the fifth round of the FA Cup with a flurry of second-half goals in the west London snow. Much like on Saturday, when Manchester City scored three times in ten minutes to overcome League Two Cheltenham Town, Leicester produced a quick-fire turnaround to stave off an upset as Cengiz Under and Youri Tielemans scored in quick succession after half-time in response to Mads Bach Sorensen’s early strike, with James Maddison eventually sealing a 3-1 win. The Foxes did not leave it as late as City and Brentford, having beaten four Premier League sides in their run to the Carabao Cup semi-finals already this season, were no minnows.
Frank Lampard admitted Timo Werner was left “despondent” after the £45million striker’s woeful run continued. The Chelsea forward saw a late penalty saved in the 3-1 FA Cup fourth round win against Luton. It means the Germany international has scored just once in his last 16 appearances – against League Two Morecambe.
An ‘In Frank we trust’ banner was on display as the Blues won the fourth round tie 3-1.

Chelsea are ready to scrap thoughts of sending Billy Gilmour out on loan this month. The 19-year-old midfielder was outstanding in Sunday’s 3-1 win against Luton in the FA Cup – playing alongside fellow academy graduate Mason Mount. Chelsea had considered allowing him to go on loan for the second half of the season to get more first-team experience.
Carabao Cup semi-finalists Brentford will be looking to continue their FA Cup run when they host Leicester in today's fourth round tie. The Bees knocked out four Premier League teams in the lesser of the two domestic cup competitions before falling to Tottenham in the semi-final, and will be hoping to claim a fifth top-flight upset of the season. This season, both clubs have other priorities, with Brentford pushing for automatic promotion and Leicester well in the Premier League title race.

Mesut Ozil wrote a heartfelt goodbye to Arsenal fans and said together they had “created memories that will last a lifetime” after finally completing his move to Fenerbahce. In an open letter to supporters, Ozil said “Arsenal fans will forever remain in my heart”. The German has also thanked Gunners technical director Edu for helping to reach “a dignified solution” to the end of his time at Emirates Stadium.
Victory over Championship Luton will hardly save Frank Lampard’s job – but defeat would have pushed him ever closer to the brink. Which is why the broad smile that greeted a 3-1 win in this FA Cup fourth-round tie was wholly justified – particularly with a trip to Barnsley now awaiting his side. True, that run includes games against League Two Morecambe, Championship Luton and relegation-threatened Fulham, but Lampard will take the positives wherever he can find them right now.
