Emirates FA Cup third round action took centre stage this weekend with three of Brentford’s loan players involved.

Aaron Pressley made his debut for Accrington Stanley, playing 77 minutes of their 1-1 draw at home to National League side Boreham Wood.

Ryan Astley forced home a sixth-minute opener for Stanley but Lee Ndlovu equalised moments after Pressley had been substituted.

The winner of next week’s replay will host Cardiff City or Leeds United in the fourth round. 

Accrington return to Sky Bet League One action on Saturday with a home game against Bristol Rovers. 

Tariqe Fosu and Halil Dervisoglu were both unused substitutes as Stoke City and Burnley made it safely through to the fourth round.

Stoke beat Hartlepool United 3-0 on Sunday while Burnley caused an upset, beating Premier League Bournemouth 4-2 at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday. 

This weekend, Burnley host Coventry City and Stoke travel to Sheffield United in the Sky Bet Championship. 

Myles Peart-Harris and Forest Green Rovers will have to wait for their third-round tie after Saturday’s game at home to Birmingham City fell foul of a waterlogged pitch.

Forest Green head to Exeter City in League One on Saturday.

In Sky Bet League Two, the battle between Lachlan Brook and Nathan Young-Coombes ended in a goalless draw.

Brook played 88 minutes for Crewe Alexandra at the Mornflake Stadium while Young-Coombes was a second-half substitute for AFC Wimbledon. 

Wimbledon moved up to 13th following the point while Crewe remain 17th.

The Dons host Bradford City on Saturday with Crewe at Mansfield Town. 

Following their free weekend, Ellery Balcombe and Crawley Town return to fourth-tier action next weekend with a home game against Doncaster Rovers.

In Netherlands, Joel Valencia was not involved as De Graafschap resumed their season with a 2-2 draw away at high-flying MVV.

Jeffry Fortes scored a 90th-minute equaliser for the De Graafschap who had led early at De Geusselt.

There’s Dutch Cup action for the Super Farmers tomorrow night away at HV and CV Quick.
