Here’s the match report from Peter Lansley, so that will wrap up our coverage for the afternoon.
What a day for Port Vale. The team rooted to the bottom of League One are in the hat for the FA Cup quarter-finals after stunning Premier League Sunderland, who were a long way below par. Ben Waine to get the freedom of Burslem?
Thanks, as always, for joining us. It’s been fun.
Sunderland’s Régis Le Bris was not happy, but magnanimous in defeat:
Congratulations to our opponent, they played with intensity and patience. It was about the fighting spirit and they seized their opportunity. We had chances but it wasn’t enough to win the game. We didn’t show enough. Sometimes you do not realise what an opportunity it is [to go deep in the FA Cup].
