Scorers: Sanson 33ā²; Reid (PEN) 88ā², Campbell 90ā².
League Two side Stevenage scored two late goals to earn a stunning win over Premier League opponents Aston Villa in one of the third roundās biggest upsets.
The hosts had moved ahead just after the half-hour mark with Morgan Sanson finishing from close range after being played in by Danny Ings following an intricate team move.
But Jamie Reid levelled from the penalty spot after Leander Dendoncker had been sent off for a professional foul.
It looked as if the visitors were going to welcome Unai Emeryās men back home for a replay but there was one more final twist as Dean Campbell made room for a shot from a short corner to squeeze the ball past Robin Olsen and dump Villa out of the cup.
Scorers: Philogene 24ā², Ojo 30ā²; Rodrigo 66ā², Perkins 90+3ā².
Leeds United came from two goals behind to avoid a shock third round exit with a stoppage-time equaliser earning a draw against ten-man Cardiff City.
Cardiff moved ahead early on when Jaden Philogene slid the ball home from just inside the six yard box after Mark Harrisā shot had deflected into his path.
The picture was made bleaker for the visitors in the 30th minute when Sheyi Ojo ran on to a pass over the top before chesting the ball down and smashing it past Joel Robles.
But Leeds dragged themselves back into it midway through the second half with Rodrigo Moreno coming off the bench to head in from a corner.
Rodrigo spurned the chance to pull level in the final ten minutes when Leeds were awarded a penalty after Joel Bagan had handled in the box but the Spanish striker saw his spot-kick saved by Jak Alnwick.
Jesse Marschās side pushed for an equaliser with Mateo Joseph shooting over from close range with the goal gaping with the time running out and Leeds looking as if they were going to be the sixth top-tier side to fall at the first hurdle but another substitute was there to save the day.
A flick in the box saw the ball fall into the path of Sonny Perkins who bagged his first goal for the club to earn a replay.
