FA Cup Crazy Night: Defending champions Crystal Palace defeated by amateur team, Man City wins 10-1, Chelsea triumphs 5-1

On January 11th Beijing time, the third round of the FA Cup began with an incredible night of action. In the spotlight were three matches where defending champions Crystal Palace were surprisingly beaten 1-2 by Macclesfield, Man City unleashed a relentless attack to thrash Exeter City 10-1, and Chelsea, with a new coach, decisively defeated Charlton 5-1, allowing Macclesfield, Man City, and Chelsea to move forward in the tournament!

Crystal Palace faced Macclesfield. As last season’s defending champions, Palace confronted Macclesfield, a sixth-tier team and amateurs. The gap in strength and value between the sides was enormous, and it was expected that Palace would easily overpower them. However, in a stunning upset, Crystal Palace was shockingly defeated 2-1 by the underdogs, creating one of the biggest surprises of the tournament!

Man City took on Exeter City. Exeter, a third-tier team, was vastly outmatched. Despite this, Man City fielded their strongest lineup and played with full intensity, launching a relentless offensive assault. They converted 10 shots on target into 10 goals, overwhelming their opponents 10-1. Seven different players scored, showcasing a well-rounded attack. Man City’s dominance was ruthless, though notably, Haaland did not score in this match!

Chelsea played against Charlton. This was Chelsea’s first match under their new coach. Facing Championship side Charlton, Chelsea struggled in the first half against a solid defensive block but managed to break through with a goal in stoppage time. The second half saw Chelsea’s confidence soar as goals came rapidly, battering Charlton until the final 5-1 scoreline. Although Chelsea didn’t keep a clean sheet, their victory was convincing and comfortable overall!
