FA Cup quarter-final replays have been scrapped from next season.
The Football Association said the decision was part of its "ongoing review" and would help to "ease English football's congested fixture schedule".
Semi-final replays were phased out after Manchester United beat Arsenal in 1999 on their way to the treble.
Replays in earlier rounds remain, which means lower-league clubs still have the opportunity to earn lucrative second matches against higher-ranked clubs.

I watched the game when Derek came on - very good performance. Played on the right of a front three, kept his width most of the time had two good shots on goal the bicycle kick and a shot with his left which deflected and hit the post. He closed up down and made himself available plus he got back to snuff out a dangerous attack by the Swiss (why does that sound wrong?!
)
