On Tuesday night, a number of FA Cup third round replays took place, with Premier League Leicester and West Ham both booking their places in the FA Cup fourth round with victories. Here is what happened in those replays:<\/p>\n

Leicester 2-0 Fleetwood<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"KelechiThe Foxes prevailed on a historic night, as Nigerian striker Kelechi Iheanacho become the first player to ever benefit from VAR. The striker opened the scoring just before half time, picking up the ball from Islam Slimani and sliding it under the outcoming Neal in the Fleetwood goal.<\/p>\n

On 77 minutes came the big moment. Iheanacho had already seen an effort ruled out for offside earlier in the half. However, this time he would be denied. The striker was once again flagged for being offside. Referee Jon Moss was not convinced though and stopped play for a short time to consult VAR before overruling his linesman.<\/p>\n

The tie may not live long in the memory of most watching. However, it will go down in the history books for the use of VAR.<\/p>\n
