Watch highlights of Knockout Stage

Round-of-16 results

Man Utd 7-4 Chelsea

Man Utd had an easy run-in during their first game, smashing Chelsea 7-4 in a resounding victory over two legs.

Dragon proved how devastating of a finisher he can be on Day 1, running up a healthy 5-1 scoreline in the first leg.

His team-mate, David Murray, only had to manage the game in the second leg, and did just that, stifling Chelsea's Conkai's attempts to stage a comeback. 

Aston Villa 5-4 Bournemouth

Aston Villa secured their spot in the round of eight with the most dramatic game-winner of the day, thanks to a stunning Erling Haaland header in the dying seconds of their second leg.

A 2-2 draw in the first game between Aston Villa's XJBrown7 and Bournemouth's NathanBP meant that Cameronrock and VBD were playing for all the chips in their tie.

The game was level 2-2 going into the final minutes before Cameronrock was able to nod home a corner with Erling Haaland in the 90th minute to send Bournemouth out. 

Nottingham Forest 4-2 Fulham

Forest's Redlac and Goalpoacher looked extremely dangerous against Fulham, scoring some spectacular goals to put them through to the next stage.

Fulham's Joshhhh9 and MessyFTG attempted a comeback during both legs, but simply didn't have the ruthlessness in front of goal to cause an issue.

With Redlac at his offensive best against Joshhhh9 and Goalpoacher doing a great job of shutting down all MessyFTG's attacks, Forest were able to secure their spot without much hassle.

West Ham 8-6 Brentford

There's nothing quite like when two teams put defence aside and go on an all-out attack, and that's exactly what we saw between West Ham and Brentford.

West Ham's BrigArmy17 and Brentford's The Artist looked like they were going to play to a draw, until the West Ham representative scored two late goals to give them a 4-2 lead heading into the second leg.

With only a win being good enough to get them to the round of eight, Brentford's Gosipic put everything into his attack and it nearly paid off. However, GRK took full advantage of Erling Haaland's Aerial Playstyle+, helping him score another four goals against the 17-year-old Fulham player.

That was enough to earn them a close victory over a very game opponent. 

Spurs 6-2 Newcastle

Spurs' Tom Leese and Lyricz proved teamwork makes the dream work against Newcastle, as both FC Pro Players won their games against Newcastle's Bancs and Painter.

Lyricz scored an early goal in the first game, then refused to give Painter any major opportunities to draw level. There was a slight scare in the second game, as Newcastle's Banks scored to make it 1-1. However, once that goal went in, Leese went to another level, scoring five goals to prove again that he's a world-class FC Pro Player.

Crystal Palace 6-1 Everton

Palace's NikSNEB and Shellzz were a dominant force against Everton's ChrisJakeman and DanielZanieri.

Shellzz showed why he's a former ePremier League champion in this game, combining a stellar attack to score two fantastic goals with an impenetrable defence that stopped ChrisJakeman from replying with his own.

It was more of the same for NikSNEB as he slammed four unanswered goals against DanielZanieri to ensure a place in the final eight.

Wolves 3-2 Burnley

Wolves' MitchHxyward and and XKaiHarris had a tough outing against an ever-resilient Burnley side who wouldn't go down without a fight.

Burnley's BradColston opened the scoring in the first leg with a fine second-half goal, but it ignited a fire under MitchHayward, who used his direct attacking play to make it 1-1.

Colston's team-mate, SalmanAhmad, started the second leg slowly which proved his undoing, as XKaiHarris's two goals gave his side a cushion. Despite Ahmad fighting back and scoring a goal, it wasn't enough to stop the Wolves' duo from going through.

Arsenal 3-2 Sheffield United

It was a tough outing for Arsenal's E0J2 and RSD, but they squeaked past Sheff Utd.

E0J2 would be forgiven for thinking that he'd killed the game off within the first 25 minutes, having scored twice with little trouble. However, Sheff Utd's BillyJoe96 roared back to make it 2-2.

Arsenal's RSD and the Blades' MichaelFisher weren't afraid to attack, but the apprehension that one goal could be the deciding factor was clear. Sadly for Fisher, RSD's incredible scissor-kick was more than a worthy game-winner.

Round-of-eight results

Manchester United 6-4 Aston Villa

This was a tale of two legs, as Man Utd and Villa had one of the most memorable matches of the ePremier League season so far.

Villa's Cameronrock had the United team shell-shocked in the first leg, smashing three goals past David Murray, who did well to stave off multiple attacks and keep it to 3-0 going into the second leg.

Instead Cameronrock might be regretting not converting more of his chances, as United's Dragon destroyed his Villa team-mate in the second leg, scoring an incredible six times to qualify for Sunday's quarter-finals.

West Ham 3-2 Nottingham Forest

Despite being underdogs, West Ham proved worthy of a place in the quarter-finals. GRK will be extremely happy about stopping Forest’s Goalpoacher from living up to his name, beating the offense-heavy player that gave his team the advantage going into the second leg.

Forest’s Redlac didn't make it so easy for his opponent, putting plenty of pressure on West Ham’s BrigArmy17. With the score tied at 2-2 overall, it looked like we might see extra-time for the first time on Saturday. 

However, BrigArmy refused to fold and scored a late winner.

Spurs 6-1 Crystal Palace

If Spurs' Lyricz needed a helping hand from his team-mate in their first game of the day, he paid him back in full with a sensational performance against Palace’s Shellzz.

Leese looked good early on in the first leg, scoring within the first three in-game minutes. However, NikSNEB found a way to rise to the occasion, utilising ICON Henry’s Finesse Shot Playstyle+ to score a fantastic equaliser.

Although it was 1-1 going into the second leg, Shellzz had no chance from the moment the game began, as Lyricz put on a masterclass, scoring five unanswered goals against the former ePL champion.

Arsenal 2-4 Wolves

The final game of the day exemplified everything we saw in Saturday's competition, with enough drama to have fans salivating for Sunday's quarter-finals.

Wolves’ XKaiHarris had a spectacular first leg, shutting down RSD with relative ease for a 2-1 victory. 

The second leg was more of the same, with Wolves’ MitchHxyward adding another goal to their tally. A strange mistake from the Wolves’ player gave Arsenal a lifeline, but it wasn’t enough to stop Wolves from progressing.
