On-loan Tottenham midfielder Alfie Devine, 19, was Vale&rsquo;s hero with a long-range effort on 50 minutes at Mansfield, which ended the Stags&rsquo; 20-match unbeaten run. It earned the Valiants a place in the quarter-finals for the first time in their history.
Boss Andy Crosby told BBC Radio 5 Live: &ldquo;It&rsquo;s a great achievement for the whole club. From the owners, who have invested so much time and effort into the club to try and drag it from where it was, because it was in a really bad place when they took over.
&ldquo;It&rsquo;s also a great reward for a group of players who are learning as we&rsquo;re going along. Tonight&rsquo;s performance was probably as well as we have played - I thought we were really incisive with the ball.&rdquo;
Vale will host Boro, who ran out 3-2 victors in an entertaining tussle at Exeter. Ryan Trevitt netted twice for the Grecians (13 &amp; 66 mins), but Michael Carrick&rsquo;s men edged through with goals from Morgan Rogers (49), Samuel Silvera (59) and Emmanuel Latte Lath (82 pen).

&ldquo;I thought second half the spaces would open up and they did,&rdquo; Carrick told&nbsp;BBC Radio Tees. &ldquo;We capitalised on it, and then they score another cracking goal.

&ldquo;But you&rsquo;ve got to face that sometimes in these type of games and I felt we overcame it fantastically well &ndash; everyone played their part.&rdquo;
It proved the end of the road for two more EFL sides &ndash; Ipswich and Blackburn.
The all-change Tractor Boys were beaten 3-1 at home by Fulham. Harry Wilson (9), Rodrigo Muniz (50) and Tom Cairney (77) netted for the Whites before Elkan Baggott (79) headed a consolation. Rovers succumbed 2-0 at Chelsea (see back page).
In all-Premier League ties, Newcastle gained revenge for their final defeat against Manchester United last term with a stunning 3-0 success at Old Trafford, West Ham beat Arsenal 3-1, Everton eased past Burnley 3-0 and Liverpool won 2-1 at Bournemouth.
Quarter-final draw:&nbsp;Everton v Fulham; Chelsea v Newcastle; Port Vale v Middlesbrough; Liverpool v West Ham. Ties to be played week beginning December 18.
