A pair of Uniteds, West Ham and Scunthorpe, had their fourth-round FA Cup tickets taken out of their hands, at least for the time being.

That’s because final-minute heroics from Everton and Chesterfield forced the sides into replays.
Everton 1-1 West Ham United
Romelu Lukaku latched onto the end of Bryan Oviedo’s stoppage time cross and forced the third round back to Upton Park. Lukaku earlier had a goal disallowed for a push and the Toffees looked ready to find the equalizer well before they found it.
The Irons had taken a 58th minute lead off the head of James Collins, assisted by Matt Jarvis.
Scunthorpe United 2-2 Chesterfield
The home side built a 2-0 lead on goals from Alex Davey and Lyle Taylor, but things started to crumble when Gary Roberts was brought down in the box and Eoin Doyle converted a penalty kick for his 22nd goal of the season.
That gave Chesterfield about 20 minutes to find the match-tying goal, and wouldn’t need it all to make it 2-2. Roberts sent in a cross that Jay O’Shea headed home to earn the Spireites a home replay.
