An FA Cup match is ordered to be replayed after officials determine a refereeing mistake affected the outcome, with one team already having been told it advanced before the decision to restart the tie.
Sky News reports the replay follows a formal complaint lodged by a club competing in the ninth tier of English football. The Mirror adds that the club that raised the issue says the ruling could have wider implications, given that the fixture had already progressed to the next stage.
Both outlets frame the decision as a correction of an on-field officiating error rather than a disciplinary action against either club. The reports do not specify the nature of the referee’s mistake, which competition stage is involved, or the specific timeline for the replay, but they agree that the Football Association has taken the step of ordering a rematch after the complaint.
