Liverpool also booked their place in the fourth round after beating Tottenham 3-1. Alexis Mac Allister opened the scoring before Cody Gakpo doubled Liverpool's advantage early in the second half. Tottenham pulled one back through Conor Gallagher, but Dominik Szoboszlai sealed the victory with a long-range strike in stoppage time.

Fulham produced another notable result by defeating West Ham United 3-2. Oscar Bobb scored the decisive goal in the 78th minute after West Ham had twice fought back to level the contest. Brentford also progressed with a 2-1 victory over Reading, while Peterborough United edged Barnsley 7-6 on penalties after a thrilling 3-3 draw.
