Among today's results are the usual few shocks starting with Shrewsbury's 2-1 win over Everton (Shrewsbury are in the 3rd division) with a their winner coming in the last minute. Darlington were put out at home to the non-league team Farnborough and Dagenham managed to hold on for a draw at Plymouth. Southampton, Blackburn and Manchester United all had very convincing wins over their opponents while the defending holders Arsenal were rarely troubled in their 2-0 win over Oxford.
