The FA Cup Third Round Proper
Winning clubs receive £40,000




With the final two games in the Third Round over, and the Fourth Round lineup now confirmed, we reflect on last night's action with the words of those involved.

Manchester United 5-0 Burton Albion

Burton player/manager Nigel Clough said: "We have had a fantastic day. The experience that the lads will take from this will stand them in good stead in the future" 

"We had a lot of young lads playing out there and I really hope that they enjoyed themselves. They have got memories for the rest of their lives now."

Clough said he hoped the core of the Burton team would stay together despite several players impressing in their two high-profile matches against United.

"Most of them are under contract to us, financially we are not under pressure and we hope to keep the nucleus of those together because there's some good young lads out there," he said.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson praised Burton's positive attitude throughout the game.

"We've had European and Premiership teams come here and never show that kind of positive attitude," he said. "Most teams come here, stick one up front, fill the midfield and bore the pants off everyone.

"Sometimes they get a result, sometimes they don't. At least Burton have come here with a positive attitude."

And the United boss said the scoreline was not a humiliation for Burton.

"We have taken the game seriously. But Nigel Clough has done a fantastic job, and his work has been repaid by all those fans who came to support them."

Everton 1-0 Millwall

Everton manager David Moyes said: "I think we deserved to win it. I thought we should have won it down there but it was the same story - we missed good chances.

"We have to make sure that we take more of the chances that we're making. It only takes a mistake at the back and before you know it, you're out of the cup."

Millwall manager David Tuttle said: "We looked solid defensively but lacked penetration in the final third - which has been the story for much of the season.

"The priority is trying to stay in the Championship. We are disappointed to go out of the Cup. But I have got no complaints about the players, who gave everything."
