Sheffield United’s Billy Sharp and Sander Berge scored in stoppage time to beat a determined Wrexham 3-1 and set up a fifth-round tie with Spurs

3-0 in their fourth-round replay.

Clifton, who forced the replay with his equaliser in the first game, got the party started with a left-footed effort in the ninth minute. Orsi doubled the advantage as his firmly-struck effort found the bottom corner in the 28th minute. Amos then sent the hosts into dreamland as his free-kick went in off a post in first-half stoppage time.

“I’m immensely proud of the performance,” Parkinson said. “We’ve taken a very good team right to the wire, and if that penalty had gone in we’d have gone on and won the game. Everyone thought our best chance of winning the tie had gone but I can’t fault how the lads performed.” The pick of the moments came when James McAtee and Iliman Ndiaye broke downfield after the latter picked off an undercooked pass from Andy Cannon. McAtee should have squared to Ndiaye, but he opted to shoot – and he curled the ball around Rob Lainton’s post. But shortly after half-time the deadlock was broken, as Ahmedhodzic shot past Lainton after being freed by Ben Osborn.
