Exeter get a draw against Man United at Old Trafford today. The non-leaguers held an understrength United side scoreless in the 3rd round of the FA Cup.
Lower league sides that took a premiership scalp: Oldham upset Man City 1-0, Sheff United knocked Aston Villa out 3-1 in the early kickoff, and Norwich and Palace went out to West Ham and Sunderland respectivaly.
Svaginahorpe gave Chelsea a scare after they went 1 up at the bridge but the League Leaders ended up 3-1 winners.
Blackburn drew at Cardiff and Fulham at Watford.
Leeds went down 3-0 in Birmingham
and if anyone cares Liverpool's game was called off yesterday (at Grimbsy I think?)

Yeovil boss Gary Johnson hailed his team after they defeated Championship bottom side Rotherham at Millmoor.
The League Two leaders scored three times in the second half, including twice in the last three minutes, to book their place in the FA Cup fourth round.
"I was proud of my players today," Johnson said. "Our work rate was tremendous and you do not demoralise a team in 90 minutes unless your work rate is high.
"We grew in confidence. The first goal was a real boost and the other two goals were down to sheer pace.
"At half time I asked the players to believe in themselves and they did just that.
"In the first half we were passing without moving but we moved well after the break. We just needed to believe in ourselves and we did.
Rotherham boss Ronnie Moore was disappointed to miss out on an extended cup run which could have brought some much needed revenue for the club's new owners.
"We needed a good cup run to get some money into the club," Moore said.
"We had chances in the first half to be out of sight but we should not be worrying about playing sides Yeovil here.
"There is not one of my players who can look in the mirror and say to themselves at the end of the day they played their best."
There was little to choose between two very ordinary teams in a lacklustre first half, though it was Chris Weale who was much the busier of the two keepers, making one really good save to deny Paul McLaren on the half hour.
Andy Monkhouse also hit the bar with a shot from McLaren's corner and Swailes bent a shot just wide, again following a McLaren corner.
But Rotherham failed to take advantage of their Championship experience and Yeovil delivered a wake up call when Rotherham goalkeeper Mike Pollitt was booked for throwing the ball away following the award of a free kick.
The kick was moved forward 10 yards to the edge of the box and Phil Jevons struck a sweet free kick that skimmed just over the bar.
The second half belonged entirely to Yeovil and they tore Rotherham to shreds. From the moment Martin McIntosh fouled Paul Terry just inside the area for a 61st minute penalty the West Country side were in total control.
Jevons stepped up to convert from the spot and Rotherham had no answer as Yeovil cruised to their ninth consecutive victory.
Substitute Aaron Davies rolled a ball across the edge of the penalty area for Darren Way to score the second after 87 minutes and two minutes later Andrejs Stolcers picked up a ball in his own half and danced through the tatters of Rotherham's stunned defence to plant a shot wide of Pollitt.
YES!!!

Replay in the United Exeter game ended 2-0 to the Premiership side. Exeter put up a great fight especially in the 2nd half until 3 mins from time Wayne Rooney rounded the keeper to make sure of victory. This added to Ronaldo's 9th minute opener. United are at home to Middlesborough in the 4th Round Blackpool, Fulham and Hartelpool also won their replays.
