Wayne Rooney will face former side Manchester United in the FA Cup fifth round after helping Championship side Derby County beat Northampton of League Two 4-2 in a fourth-round replay.
Rooney hit his side's fourth from the penalty spot in the second half.
Andre Wisdom and Duane Holmes scored in the first half for Derby before Nick Adams got one back after the restart.
Jack Marriott headed in a third and Rooney made it 4-1 before Sam Hoskins scored a late penalty for Northampton.
The Rams will host Manchester United in the week commencing 2 March.
It will be the first time that Rooney – United and England's all-time top scorer – has faced his former side since playing for Everton in a 2-0 defeat at Goodison on 1 January, 2018.
Playing as a deep-lying midfielder, the 34-year-old has been a key player for Derby since joining Philip Cocu's side at the start of January.
The Rams have won five and lost just one of the eight games he has been involved in, while his latest goal was his third in as many games for the club.
Rooney played a pivotal role in Derby's 1-0 win against Premier League side Crystal Palace in the third round and was once again involved in most of this game's key moments. (SuperSport)
