Fourth-tier AFC Wimbledon emerged as second-round giant-killers, beating promoted Ipswich 4-2 on spot kicks after a lively 2-2 draw in front of a crowd of 7,900 in south-west London.

They were rewarded in the draw with a third-round home game against Newcastle.
Bournemouth were beaten 1-0 by West Ham United in an all-Premier League clash settled by an 88th-minute, deflected Jarrod Bowen goal at the London Stadium.

Manchester United have a home game against League One Barnsley at Old Trafford, Tottenham Hotspur must travel to second-tier Coventry and losing 2024 finalists Chelsea host fourth-tier Barrow.

Newcastle had been playing for just 19 seconds at the City Ground when Alexander Isak had a shot pushed away and Joe Willock, who soon limped off with a thigh injury, turned it in for his first goal since February.

Italian midfielder Sandro Tonali played 62 minutes on his return from a 10-month ban for betting breaches, and could have scored early on, but Newcastle’s lead disappeared five minutes after the break when Jota Silva equalised with a half-volley.
