FA Cup Replay On Tap For Blues and Spurs; Rovers and Hornets Advance To Semis

Three Sunday quarterfinal round matches took place in England's FA Cup:

At London:

Frank Lampard scored twice (22', 71') and Solomon Kalou added the equalizer (86') as Chelsea came back from a two-goal deficit to gain a 3-3 home draw with Tottenham Hotspur. This will set up a replay next week at the Spurs' pitch at White Hart Lane.

At Blackburn:

Goals from Aaron Mokoena (28') and Matt Derbyshire (90') lifted Blackburn to the FA Cup semifinals as they defeated visiting Manchester City 2-0.

At Plymouth:


Hameur Bouazza's goal (pictured here) at 21 minutes was all the scoring as Premiership strugglers Watford advanced to the FA Cup semifinals with their 1-0 road win over League Championship midtablers Plymouth Argyle.
