FA Cup Results Explained

You may think that past FA Cup results are an irrelevant insight, but a team's performance in previous rounds can reveal a lot about their approach, style of play, and overall commitment. As you know, some big clubs use these matches to rest key players, which can significantly impact their performance.

At LiveScore, you can check the FA Cup scores from the very first round. Our results page is organised by round, allowing you to easily find the scores from the qualifying stages right through to the final.

However, we do not stop there. For each match, you can check team news and important statistics. The match between Mansfield Town and Arsenal on March 7th, 2026, is a good example of why these insights are important. The final score was 1-2, although Arsenal were huge favourites. Here are the tabs every visitor can check:

• Info: In addition to the date the game was played, you can also see who the referee was and at which stadium the match took place.


• Summary: This section is divided into two parts. The 'Events' tab reveals the minutes when goals were scored, and we also highlight if any players received yellow or red cards. The 'Commentary' page reveals the main happenings on the pitch, describing fouls, saved attempts, and team possession.


• Stats: This is a true match report converted into numbers. For example, you might see that Mansfield Town had 9 shots off target, while Arsenal had only 6. The final score does not reveal these facts, does it? You can also find data on possession, blocked shots, goalkeeper saves, and more.


• Line-ups: This page is essential! For this match, we noticed that many of Arsenal’s usual bench players were in the starting eleven. Kepa Arrizabalaga was in goal, while William Saliba and Declan Rice did not start. Below the line-ups, you can see all the substitutions made during the match.


• Head-to-Head: Here, you can see the final scores from past matches between the two teams. In this case, the page was empty because Mansfield Town and Arsenal had never played before. However, you can also check the recent performance of both clubs across all competitions.
