Sunderland are the biggest casualty as several English football Premier League clubs tumbled out of the FA Cup third round at the hands of lower league sides.
The league one side, Notts County, have scored a 2-1 upset at the Stadium of Light.
Sunderland were joined on the casualty list by Blackpool and West Brom, who were beaten by lower league opponents Southampton and Reading repectively.
Lee Barnard and Guly Do Prado scored the goals for League One Southampton in a 2-0 win at St Mary's against an under-strength Blackpool.
Championship side Reading meanwhile secured their 1-0 victory over the visiting Baggies thanks to a Shane Long goal.
In the early game Arsenal survived a scare against Leeds before snatching a last gasp 1-1 draw against the Championship side at the Emirates.
Elsewhere, the form book largely held sway although Bolton needed two goals in the last ten minutes from Kevin Davies and Johan Elmander to squeeze a 2-0 win over non-league York at the Reebok Stadium.
Wolves meanwhile were held to a 2-2 draw at Championship side Doncaster.
Premier League Stoke were also held by Championship opposition, with Tuncay Sanli giving them a 1-1 draw against promotion-chasing Cardiff who had taken the lead at the Britannia Stadium with a Michael Chopra goal on eight minutes.
There were no such problems for Mark Hughes's Fulham, who ran riot at Craven Cottage to swat aside Peterborough 6-2.
Everton also had a comfortable victory away at Scunthorpe, cruising past their Championship opponents 5-1.
Aston Villa meanwhile relieved the pressure on manager Gerard Houllier with a 3-1 victory at Sheffield United.
West Ham manager Avram Grant also breathed a sigh of relief after his side bounced back from a 5-0 thrashing by Newcastle midweek to record a 2-0 win over Barnsley.
