two games, his sixth hat—trick of the season, leaving him on 42 for the season — according to alan shearernaldo, you know. in the end they are part of a very, very special elite because i don't think — i think even the very best find it difficult to stop those guys, no matter what you say, if you so you will stop them, they find a way. they will keep running away. and we have the three remaining quarter—final fixtures today. can grimsby do it again? the last round they face southampton another go to they face southampton another go to the highflying premier league side, brighton. sheffield united and blackburn get under way at midday and manchester united host filament later. the potentialfor another giantkilling in the woman's team as lewes host the side in woman's second place in the super league, manchester united. lewes is the lowest—ranked team left in the competition. they're not—for—profit, and they became the first club to pay their male and female players equally back in 2017. so of course this is a big occasion for the players in what is already it isn't just a it isn'tjust a cop
