FA Cup Round 5 Round Up

Last updated : 15 February 2010 By Dan Buxton

Stoke and Manchester City enured their mini series will be a trilogy after drawing at Eastlands on Saturday evening. Shaun Wright-Phillips had given Citeh an early lead before Ricardo Fuller headed in an equaliser from a Delap long throw on the hour mark. The winners of next Wednesdays replay will face a daunting trip to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea in the last 8. The Londoners booked their place in the last eight after comfortably seeing off Championship side Cardiff by four goals to one at the Bridge.

Chelsea were the first team through but were quickly followed by Portsmouth, who ran out 4-1 winners in the South Coast derby although it was much closer than the scoreline shows with Southampton unlucky not to be in the lead late on. Crisis club Pompey's next mission is a home tie with Birmingham, the midlands side coming from behind to defeat Championship Derby, an injury time goal from Liam Ridgewell winning the game.

Saturdays other game saw Reading and West Brom share four goals at the Madjeski. Reading opened the scoring after just nine seconds, the fastest goal in FA Cup history, but were twice pegged back, Joe Mattocks 87th minute strike ensuring a replay. The winner of that has a home tie against either Aston Villa or Crystal Palace after the pair also drew 2-2, on ITV, with a controversial Stylian Petrov header three minutes from time squaring things up for the Premier League side.

Fulham had the most comfortable route to the last eight as they saw off Notts County 4-0 at Craven Cottage and now face either Tottenham or Bolton in the quarters after they drew 1-1 on Sunday afternoon, Spurs coming from behind to level matters through Jermaine Defoe before Tom Huddlestone missed a late penalty to win the tie.
