League One strugglers Port Vale stun Sunderland to reach FA Cup quarter-finals

League One strugglers Port Vale are into the quarter-finals of the FA Cup for the first time in more than 70 years after boyhood Newcastle fan Ben Waine scored to stun Premier League Sunderland 1-0.

Five days after getting the goal that knocked out Bristol City, Waine – a New Zealand international whose mum’s family hails from the north east – was at it again as his 28th-minute header gave Vale their first win over top-flight opposition since a fourth-round win over Everton 30 years ago.

Jon Brady’s side sit rock bottom of the third tier, 11 points from safety in a 150th anniversary season that has offered little to celebrate so far, but this will go down as a famous day as they reached the last eight of the FA Cup for the first time since advancing to the semi-finals in 1954.
