The winger ended up falling into the pit, with photographers having to quickly move out of the way. Savinho, who was making his first appearance in the FA Cup, was helped out of the pit by a photographer, with Tilt also coming across to offer assistance.

However, Savinho didn't appear interested in Tilt's offer of a helping hand, with the pair proceeding to get into an argument. City were leading 2-0 at the time of the incident courtesy of goals from Jeremy Doku and Divin Mubama. Nico O'Reilly later added a third goal, with Jack Grealish scoring a penalty in the second half. City eventually ran out 8-0 winners as James McAtee scored a hat-trick in he second period and Doku got his second goal of the game with a penalty.
