Man City 3-1 Southampton

 

 

Manchester City fought back from going a goal down to beat Southampton and reach the FA Cup fifth round.

 

Saints took the lead after City striker Georgios Samaras miskicked when clean through and the clearance reached Kenwyne Jones, who lobbed Nicky Weaver.

 

But City equalised instantly when Darius Vassell spun in the area and planted a low shot into the corner.

 

Stephen Ireland set up Joey Barton to put City ahead and DaMarcus Beasley then scored from Richard Dunne's pass.

 

Weaver was clearly at fault for Southampton's goal as he came rushing out of his area when Micah Richards appeared to be in control of the situation.

 

But Samaras should share the blame for failing to convert Ireland's pass in the first place.

 

The Greek international was in lacklustre form up front after being handed his first start since 7 January and early on it was not hard to see why City have had such trouble scoring goals recently.

 

But falling behind to their Championship opponents seemed to wake Stuart Pearce's side from their slumber.

 

And two minutes later they were level when Hatem Trabelsi made ground down the right and Vassell swivelled to fire past Kelvin Davis into the bottom corner.

 

Even Samaras began to look dangerous as City upped the ante - although he did head wastefully over from Barton's cross when well placed.

 

It still seemed Southampton would go in level at the break but Ireland had other ideas.

 

He ran at the heart of the visitors' defence before sliding the ball into the path of Barton, who finished with aplomb before foolishly deciding to celebrate in front of the away fans.

 

Southampton did not lie down after the break but they failed to force Weaver into a meaningful save until Gareth Bale's injury-time shot.

 

Grzegorz Rasiak has scored 19 goals this season but he failed to impress during a five-month spell in the Premiership with Tottenham and he made little impact against City.

 

And although Bale showed signs of why he is so highly rated, the young Welshman did not get within range of Weaver's goal to try one of his trademark free-kicks.

 

The home side were still threatening themselves though and Beasley made sure of victory when he latched on to Dunne's long ball, rounded Kelvin Davis, and rolled the ball into an empty net.

 

By the end City were comfortable winners and if not for two good late saves by Davis, the impressive Ireland would have capped a fine display by getting on the scoresheet himself.

 

And Davis saved his best moment for the last minute when he turned a header from City substitute Ishmael Miller on to the bar from point-blank range.

Chelsea 3-0 Nottingham Forest

 

 

Chelsea cruised to victory over League One side Nottingham Forest to book their place in the FA Cup fifth round.

 

The Blues opened the scoring when Andriy Shevchenko's close-range volley deflected off Forest's John Curtis.

 

Didier Drogba added another goal with a curling 25-yard free-kick and Mikel Jon Obi then poked the ball home just before half-time.

 

Forest's best chance came courtesy of Junior Agogo, who fired his shot across goal from 12 yards out.

 

Some say the FA Cup is a leveller but that was not the case at Stamford Bridge.

 

Forest, who are third in League One, never got going and failed to put the Blues under much pressure.

 

Before they could find their feet, the visitors found themselves a goal down when Shevchenko followed up his midweek brace against Wycombe to fire in from five yards, thanks to a massive deflection off Curtis.

 

Chelsea, who rarely stepped up into third gear, went two up when the influential Drogba curled in his 22nd goal of the season from a 25-yard free-kick.

 

Unlike League Two outfit Wycombe, who lost to Chelsea in a Carling Cup semi-final, Forest did not compensate for their individual inferiority with much-needed collective bite.

 

Consequently Lassana Diarra was allowed to control matters in the middle, which enabled Frank Lampard, Shaun Wright-Phillips and Obi to roam.

 

And roam they did. Wright-Phillips saw his snatched shot inside the area go fractionally wide, while Lampard had two efforts from the edge of the box blocked by the Forest defence.

 

However, the third member of the trio, Obi, did get some reward when he poked in the third goal after Lampard's corner deflected off Forest defender Julian Bennett and keeper Smith.

 

Whatever gameplan Forest boss Colin Calderwood conjured up before the match had to be changed at the break.

 

The Scot introduced Sammy Clingan for Grant Holt and the tweak seemed to have some positive effect, with the famous Nottingham side enjoying a good spell at the start of the half.

 

Their best chance of the game came when Agogo eluded his marker at the edge of the area to fire his shot across the face of the Chelsea goal.

 

But after that bright moment, Chelsea came out of their brief slumber.

 

Lampard had a shot saved by Smith's leg, Shevchenko rifled two shots wide from inside the area, while Michael Essien had his powerful header saved on the line by Curtis.

 

By this time the contest was over, allowing Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho the luxury of giving 16-year-old substitute Michael Woods a late run-out in the famous Chelsea colours.

Wolves 0-3 West Brom

 

 

Diomansy Kamara inspired West Brom to a victory over fierce rivals Wolves and a place in the FA Cup fifth round.

 

Kamara opened the scoring on 44 minutes when he ran 40 yards with the ball and tapped into an open goal after Mark Little and keeper Matt Murray collided.

 

Just after the break, Kamara found Kevin Phillips on the edge of the box and his shot deflected off the unfortunate Little into the corner.

 

Zoltan Gera completed the win when he headed in a Jason Koumas corner.

 

The visitors were good value for their victory, with Kamara central to most of their best play.

 

Indeed, the striker could - and should - have opened his account in the 20th minute after being played in by Phillips but he poked his shot wide from six yards.

 

A minute later, Koumas went close after he cut inside from the left wing and hit his shot narrowly wide of the upright.

 

Wolves struggled to contain their opponents on the left flank and from there, Koumas and then Phillips delivered dangerous crosses that had the hosts scrambling to clear the ball.

 

But it was down the middle where West Brom made the breakthrough when Little lost the ball to Kamara.

 

The pair tussled on the run for half the length of the pitch before Murray came out of his goal to assist but succeeded only in upending his team-mate and presenting Kamara with an open goal.

 

It got worse for Wolves and Little, in particular, soon after the interval.

 

The unlucky defender could only watch in horror as his flicked-out leg diverted Phillips' shot past Murray.

 

And the Baggies rounded off the victory when Wolves left Gera unmarked in the box, allowing the midfielder to head in Koumas' inswinging corner.
