LONDON: Aston Villa became the second English Premier League side to fail to beat fourth-tier opposition in the third round of the FA Cup after being held to a 1-1 draw at Wycombe on Saturday.
Villa captain Micah Richards gave his side the lead in the first half but Joe Jacobson leveled for the Chairboys with a 50th minute penalty.
Villa is last in the Premier League standings and the draw means its winless run stretches to 16 matches.
In a competition renowned for lower-ranked teams surprising illustrious opponents, Liverpool drew 2-2 at Exeter on Friday.
Later Saturday, defending champion Arsenal plays Sunderland, Manchester City is at Norwich, Everton hosts fourth-tier Dagenham and Manchester United is at home against third-tier Sheffield United.
