Sunderland needed inspiration. A goal down to Preston North End with four minutes to go last month, they were ambling to a home defeat that would dent their push for a spot in the Championship's end-of-season promotion play-offs. Romaine Mundle had other ideas. It was as though time stood still: a small feint, four touches, a sway of the hips and a shift of the ball preceded a sumptuous shot which curled and dipped into the top corner.

The English county of Devon is in the spotlight, with two of the best three teams in the country making the long journey south-west in the FA Cup fourth round. For some, rugby union is more synonymous with the area than football - the Exeter Chiefs won the Premiership in 2017 and 2020 - but dig beneath the surface and look beyond the stunning coastline, popular tourist hotspots and cream teas and you will find an area that has forged its own footballing culture.
