FA Cup Update - 3rd Round: Manchester United 0 - Leeds 1

Jermaine Beckford (above) scored in the 19th minute as Leeds United upset Manchester United at Old Trafford. These two teams were once heated rivals, but this was their first match in over five years. Leeds are currently first in League One, and Beckford is their rising star. This defeat means Manchester United have been eliminated from the FA Cup in the third round for the first time since 1984.

FA Cup Update - 3rd round: Middlesbrough 0 - Manchester City 1

Manchester City defeated Middlesbrough today in FA Cup third round play. The match was played in a snow storm. Man City had several players missing due to the African Cup of Nations, and manager Roberto Mancini chose to field a team that did not include many of the regular starters. The match was basically boring from beginning to end.

One interesting note, however-- for each of the last five years, the team* which eliminated Middlesbrough from the FA Cup went on to lose in the FA Cup final. (*Manchester United, West Ham, Manchester United, Cardiff City, and Everton)
