Port Vale produced one of the great FA Cup shocks as the League One basement side stunned Premier League Sunderland 1-0 to book their place in the quarter-finals. Waine - a Newcastle fan - pounced when Vale kept a corner alive and he looped a header home to send Vale Park into delirium. It is their first time in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup in more than 70 years since they made the last eight in 1954. Bottom of League One they might be, but yet again Port Vale reminded everyone why the FA Cup remains football's greatest stage for the improbable. The FA Cup quarter-final draw is on Monday and will take place before the final last-16 tie between West Ham and Brentford.
