Leeds end 23-year wait as Longstaff, Gudmundsson and Piroe sink Norwich

— Match Report

Leeds United are through to the FA Cup quarter-finals for the first time since 2002-03 after easing past Championship side Norwich City 3-0 at Elland Road. On a day of cup upsets, with Southampton beating Fulham and Port Vale knocking out Sunderland, the Premier League hosts ensured there was no third shock.

First-half goals from Sean Longstaff and Gabriel Gudmundsson put Daniel Farke's heavily rotated side in command, and Joel Piroe wrapped up the win with five minutes left to seal a place in the last eight for the first time in 23 years.

Early flashpoint as Nmecha goal ruled out

Leeds were quickly on the front foot. Lukas Nmecha turned home a loose ball inside the area after Daniel Grimshaw and Ruairi McConville failed to deal with Jaka Bijol's delivery, only for VAR to intervene and rule out the goal for a handball by Wilfried Gnonto in the build-up.
