Bournemouth secured their spot in the FA Cup fifth round with a 2-0 victory over Everton, marking the last FA Cup match at Goodison Park. Antoine Semenyo and Daniel Jebbison scored in the first half, leading the Cherries to triumph in this all-Premier League clash. Andoni Iraola's team took the lead when Semenyo converted a penalty after being fouled by James Tarkowski.

Everton's captain, Tarkowski, was again at fault just before halftime. He lost possession, allowing Jebbison to score from close range. Despite Everton's efforts to respond after the break, they hit the woodwork three times as their 133-year FA Cup journey at Goodison Park concluded. Meanwhile, Southampton also exited the competition as Marcus Edwards scored for Burnley on his debut.

Ipswich Town had no such difficulties, securing a 4-1 win against Coventry City. Kieran McKenna's side was awarded a penalty within 22 seconds, converted by George Hirst. Although Joel Latibeaudiere equalised soon after, Jack Clarke's two goals restored Ipswich's control before halftime. Jaden Philogene added another goal to ensure their progression.

Fulham moved forward with Rodrigo Muniz scoring twice in their 2-1 win over Wigan Athletic. Muniz netted in both halves, with Jonny Smith briefly equalising for Wigan with a curling shot. Fulham managed to avoid an upset at the Brick Community Stadium thanks to Muniz's performance.

Cardiff City emerged victorious against Stoke City in a thrilling penalty shootout after a 3-3 draw at bet365 Stadium. Rubin Colwill and Yousef Salech scored early for Cardiff, but Lewis Koumas' two goals brought Stoke level. Lewis Baker put Stoke ahead with a penalty before Colwill equalised again, sending the match into extra time.

Preston North End Triumphs in Shootout

In another dramatic finish, Preston North End defeated Wycombe Wanderers on penalties following a goalless draw at Deepdale. Goalkeeper Freddie Woodman was instrumental in Preston's success by saving penalties from Dan Udoh and Adam Reach. Ched Evans then secured a 4-2 shootout victory for Preston, earning them a place in round five for the first time since 2015.

As these matches unfolded across various venues, teams displayed determination and skill to progress further in the FA Cup. The competition continues to offer thrilling encounters and unexpected outcomes as clubs vie for glory on this prestigious stage.
