FA Cup wrap: Rocco Vata on target for Watford, Cardiff beat Blades to advance

Ireland Under-21 international Rocco Vata produced a moment of magic for Watford in the third round of the FA Cup at Craven Cottage, however, the Championship side were eventually well beaten by top flight Fulham.

After a well-worked counter-attack saw Rodrigo Muniz net his first goal of 2025 for Fulham, Vata scored what will be considered a goal-of-the-competition contender with a thumping long-range effort to draw the sides level.

Raul Jimenez continued his fine scoring record from the spot before Joachim Andersen and Timothy Castagne scored their first goals of the season to help Marco Silva's side topple his former club and advance into the next round.
