FA Cup roundup: Arsenal's defence ends, Swansea hit Forest for five

No real shocks so far in the fourth round.

Holders Arsenal are out of the FA Cup after Gabriel Magalhaes' own goal condemned them to a 1-0 fourth-round loss at Southampton.

What proved the decisive moment came in the 24th minute when Gabriel deflected a cross-cum-shot from Kyle Walker-Peters past Bernd Leno and into the Gunners' net – the first goal Mikel Arteta's men have conceded in six games in all competitions.

Ralph Hasenhuttl's Saints advance to a fifth-round clash with Wolves at Molineux.

West Ham set up a trip to either Manchester United or Liverpool as they won 4-0 at home against League One Doncaster.

Pablo Fornals provided the opener early on, Andriy Yarmolenko doubled the advantage just after the half-hour mark, Andy Butler scored an own goal in the 54th minute and substitute Oladapo Afolayan then netted on his Hammers debut.

Brighton moved into round five after seeing off third-tier Blackpool 2-1 at home, the winner coming in the 58th minute when Alexis Mac Allister's shot went in off Steven Alzate.

Seagulls midfielder Yves Bissouma's fine strike from distance had earlier been cancelled out in first-half stoppage time by Gary Madine. Brighton will face either Brentford or Leicester in round five.

Sheffield United also progressed with a home victory over League One opponents, defeating Plymouth 2-1.

Chris Basham put the Blades in front with a 39th-minute header and Billy Sharp added a finish two minutes after the break before Panutche Camara – who had failed to convert a good chance at 0-0 – replied for the visitors.

Chris Wilder's men will now host Bristol City, who won 3-0 at Championship rivals Millwall.
