FA Cup round-up: Birmingham survive scare, Luton leave late and Bristol City need extra time

Birmingham City avoided an upset in the third round against League One contenders Forest Green Rovers thanks to an impressive second-half comeback.

A Ben Stevenson screamer gave the home side a shock lead in the tie. The midfielder curled his right foot into the top corner from 30 yards out.

But Birmingham hit back in the second half with goals from Lukas Jutkiewicz and Kevin Long, who were the quickest to react to a loose ball from a corner. The 2-1 win means the Blues face Championship play-off hopefuls Blackburn in the fourth round.

Elsewhere, Luton nabbed a dramatic late win over 2013 winner Wigan in the All-Championship tie at DW Stadium.

The hosts took an early lead in the second half. Thelo Aasgaard volleyed into the top corner after Wigan’s long throw was cleared to the edge of the box.

Luton hit back immediately as Cauley Woodrow saw his first try saved but converted the rebound. Then, in the 98th minute, Elijah Adebyo hit the bottom corner to set up a fourth-round tie against Grimsby.

Samuel Bell then scored the winner in extra time to send Bristol City through to the fourth round.
