Earlier, Manchester City moved into the fifth round with a 2-0 win at home to League Two rivals Salford City.
Pep Guardiola's team went ahead in the sixth minute when Rayan Ait-Nouri's cross deflected in off Alfie Dorrington. City controlled the game, but it wasn't until the 81st minute when Marc Guehi tapped home with a close-range finish that made the win safe.
Elsewhere, Sandro Tonali scored twice as Newcastle United produced an impressive second half fightback to win 3-1 away to Aston Villa.

Tonali turned the game around after the break and Nick Woltemade assured the win in the 88th minute of the game.
