Shakers shock Canaries with cup win

The cash-strapped League Two outfit - who sacked manager Chris Casper and director of football Keith Alexander on Monday - went ahead through defender Ben Futcher in the 18th minute.
Leading goalscorer Andy Bishop applied a neat finish to claim his 12th of the season shortly after the hour mark to secure a famous win and set up a fourth-round trip to Southampton.
The giantkilling act left Norwich boss Glenn Roeder and his players seriously humiliated, and substitute Dion Dublin's scrappy late strike ultimately counted for nothing.
West Brom survived a 2-2 Charlton fightback to win a penalty shoot-out 4-3 and clinch an FA Cup fourth-round meeting with Peterborough at London Road.
Roman Bednar scored the decisive spot-kick after Albion goalkeeper Dean Kiely had saved Zheng Zhi's effort. Luke Varney had also hit the bar for the Addicks while Nicky Weaver had denied the Baggies' Jonathan Greening from 12 yards.
Filipe Teixeira looked to have clinched victory for Coca-Cola Championship leaders Albion in normal time by setting up the opening goals for Bednar and James Morrison, but fellow promotion candidates Charlton were the better side after the break and, after reducing the arrears through Darren Ambrose, forced the game into extra-time through substitute Chris Dickson's last-gasp effort.
Out-of-favour striker Ben May put his Millwall troubles behind him with a goal and an assist as the Lions defeated Walsall 2-1 to book an FA Cup fourth-round trip to Coventry.
The 23-year-old hasn't started for his club since September but wasted little time in impressing boss Kenny Jackett by slotting home after 15 minutes. May quickly turned provider after the break, setting up striker Gary Alexander, as Millwall held on to secure the January 26th trip to the Ricoh Arena.
Saddlers striker Alex Nicholls gave Millwall a scare, deflecting the ball past Lenny Pidgeley on the hour mark, but Millwall held on to end Walsall's 18-game unbeaten run
