Bournemouth 0-1 Leicester City
At the Vitality Stadium, it took until the 105th minute for a goal to be witnessed in the classic encounter, with Abdul Issahaku's goal deciding the affair.
The game was marred by woeful finishing, but substitute Issahaku made the difference, picking up the ball from Kelechi Iheanacho before unleashing a superb strike, which ascended into the top-left corner following a tip from Mark Travers.
The 2020/21 FA Cup champions move to the next round, after dispatching Premier League's Bournemouth, who appear to be in a mini-crisis.
Blackburn Rovers 1-1 Newcastle United
This was an intense affair involving two teams that went neck and neck at each other right from the blast of the whistle.
Anthony Gordon netted the opener of the showdown in the 71st minute, with a one-time strike beating Pears in goal for Rovers, before Sammie Szmodics equalized for the home side 8 minutes later, reacting quickest to an effort spilled by Martin Dubravka.
Ultimately, Newcastle United had the confidence to win 4-3, after the rigors of penalty, with players like Bruno Guimaraes, Anthony Gordon, Fabian Schar, and Elliot Anderson stepping up when it mattered most.
Blackburn Rovers missed their opening and final penalty and that decided the encounter, with goalscorer Szmodics missing during the shootout and Dominic Hyam also failing to convert his spot kick.
Luton Town 2-6 Manchester City
The Hatters were demolished in front of their supporters, as the Cityzens exuded their superiority at Kenilworth Road.
It was a fantastic game for Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland, as they formed a formidable partnership in the encounter.
Haaland scored 5 staggering goals in the game, with 4 of those goals being assisted by De Bruyne.
The pair wreaked havoc on Rob Edwards' defense and they pretty much couldn't withstand what was thrown at them.
Mateo Kovacic put the icing on the cake for the Cityzens in the 72nd minute, as the Croatian struck an impressive shot into the back of the net.
Jordan Clark was the scorer of both goals for Luton Town, scoring the final goal in the first 45 and the opening goal of the second half.
Unfortunately, Luton Town was bruised, battered, and annihilated by the defending champions.
