Smogs Heading To Wembley?

Liverpool striker Dirk Kuyt had put his side ahead after he smashed home Ryan Babel's cross in the 32nd minute before Steve Foster equalised with a header for the Coca-Cola Championship side in the 57th minute.

The home side dominated the remainder of the game and Tykes goalkeeper Luke Steele, who was signed on emergency loan from West Brom earlier in the week, produced a string of second-half saves.

The match seemed to be heading for a replay before Howard struck a spectacular winner from 25 yards in the third minute of added time out to put his side into the quarter-final draw.

Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher scored twice to help his side complete a 4-0 rout of 10-man Arsenal in a surprisingly one-sided affair between the Premier League top two at Old Trafford.

Wayne Rooney put Sir Alex Ferguson's side in front in the 16th minute and Fletcher also headed home four minutes later to double the advantage.

Luis Nani (38) latched on to Michael Carrick's pass and drilled the ball past Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann to make it 3-0 before the break.

Arsene Wenger's side were reduced to 10 men four minutes after the interval when Emmanuel Eboue was shown a straight red card for a foul on Patrice Evra.

Fletcher then rounded off the scoring in the 74th minute with a close-range header after good work by Nani down the left flank.

Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard scored twice to help give his side a 3-1 win over League One Huddersfield at Stamford Bridge.

Lampard opened the scoring with his 100th Blues goal in the 18th minute after he latched on to a Scott Sinclair cross before he calmly placed the ball into the bottom-left corner of the net.

Huddersfield, though, equalised on the stroke of half-time through midfielder Michael Collins.

James Berrett's pass picked out Collins who drilled the ball home.

Lampard restored the home side's advantage in the 60th minute with a close-range finish after Terriers goalkeeper Matt Glennon had parried his initial shot.

Salomon Kalou was sent clear by Lampard 10 minutes later and added a third after he rounded Glennon to calmly slot the ball home.

Roman Bednar scored twice to help book West Brom's place in the quarter-finals they thrashed 10-man Coventry 5-0 win at the Ricoh Arena.

Chris Brunt had given the Baggies a 12th-minute lead and the home side lost Michael Doyle after he was sent off for a foul on Zoltan Gera.

Bednar scored in the 59th minute after a mistake by Sky Blues goalkeeper Andy Marshall before he converted a penalty 10 minutes later.

Substitute Ishmael Miller added another in the 76th minute and Gera added a fifth two minutes later.

Cardiff midfielder Peter Whittingham scored one goal and created another for Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink to help give his side a 2-0 win over Wolves at Ninian Park.

Bristol Rovers also caused an upset after they claimed a 1-0 win over Southampton at the Memorial Stadium in the day's early kick-off.

Paul Trollope's Coca-Cola League One team were the better side throughout the match against their Championship counterparts and Rickie Lambert eventually scored the decisive goal in the 84th minute to take his side into the quarter-finals.

The Rovers striker drilled a low free-kick from 22 yards which took a deflection off Saints midfielder Jermaine Wright and sailed past goalkeeper Kelvin Davis.

Relieved Portsmouth booked their place in the FA Cup quarter-finals after Preston midfielder Darren Carter scored a 93rd-minute own-goal to decide an action-packed fifth-round tie at Deepdale.

North End, fourth bottom in the Coca-Cola Championship, belied their lowly status with a vibrant display and the award of a 60th-minute spot-kick put them on course for a famous victory.

But man-of-the-match David James flung his 6ft 5in frame to his right to deny Preston midfielder Simon Whaley.

James also made a string of fantastic saves - including a wonderful 74th-minute stop to deny substitute Neil Mellor - as Preston piled on the pressure in the second half.

A replay looked certain as the game drifted into the final minute of added time but Niko Kranjcar's corner was missed by Preston goalkeeper Andy Lonergan and in the panic Carter could only smash the ball into his own net from underneath the crossbar.

Hermann Hreidarsson appeared to knock the ball towards goal with his hand as the corner drifted across the six-yard box but referee Mike Dean failed to spot the incident and the goal stood.

In Sunday's other tie Sheffield United narrowly missed out on a third Barclays Premier League scalp in this season's FA Cup and had to settle for a goalless draw against Middlesbrough.

New Sheffield United manager Kevin Blackwell was denied a winning start on his return to Bramall Lane only by the post.

Former Everton striker James Beattie struck the upright just before the break for the Blades - who also had two good penalty appeals for handball waved away - and that was the closest either side came.

In the second half Paddy Kenny produced two saves in the space of 60 seconds to deny Mido and then David Wheater.

Then, at the death, Emanuel Pogatetz's header almost won the game for the visitors but his effort was blocked by Chris Morgan.

After beating Bolton and Manchester City in previous rounds, Blackwell and United still have a chance to progress - and will at least be in the hat for Monday's quarter-final draw.

But if the Coca-Cola Championship side are to reach the sixth round they will have to do it the hard way as they face a replay at the Riverside on February 26.
