FA Cup quarter-final cruises and a new low for Newcastle – Football Weekly

We start with the FA Cup quarter-finals and discuss the fairly routine wins for Leicester, Manchester City, Chelsea and Southampton. We look over all the key talking points, including Fred’s costly mistake and Fernandinho’s inspired performance.

Then, we move on to the Premier League, as Arsenal came back from three goals down to draw at West Ham. At the bottom of the table, it’s looking like a straight battle for survival between Fulham and Newcastle, with Steve Bruce’s side imploding at normally goal-shy Brighton.

And then in part three, we take a look at the alleged racist remarks made by Slavia Prague’s Ondrej Kudela to the Rangers midfielder Glen Kamara during the Europa League match last Thursday. Finally, we take a look at the Champions League quarter-final and semi-final draw and Sevilla goalkeeper Bono scoring a 94th-minute equaliser against Real Valladolid in La Liga.
