Here is the match report, courtesy of Jamie Jackson at Elland Road. That’s all for this blog, thank you for reading and emailing in, and goodnight.

“After Southampton and Port Vale caused shocks, could Philippe Clement mastermind a third of the day for Norwich City? The answer was a resounding no, as Leeds United cuffed their guests aside, and progressed to a first quarter-final in 23 years.”

That was a fun performance from Leeds, who passed the ball beautifully at times and were full of running. It was still surprising, given Norwich’s form and the fact that Farke made nine changes, that the Championship side couldn’t make any sort of impact, especially in the first half.

Given all the recent talk about time-wasting, set-pieces and gamesmanship in the Premier League, it was a nice palette cleanser. Just good, clean footballing fun and thankfully, not a sniff of controversy over the players breaking their fast either.
