At least they will always have Newcastle. Cambridge’s heroes of the third round could not extend their FA Cup run, having been outmuscled by a Luton team strong on set pieces and expert in punishing their opponents’ mistakes. First-half goals from Reece Burke and Carlos Mendes Gomes, and a late strike from Admiral Muskwe, the Zimbabwean having been excellent throughout, were enough to guide Luton through to the fifth round for the first time in nine years.

Luton looked battle-hardened by life in the Championship, where they are mounting a play-off challenge, but were often threatened by the speedy attacks of Mark Bonner’s passing team, with the veteran Wes Hoolahan as the prime creator.
