Hopes For Manchester United-Chelsea FA Cup Final At New Wembley Still Alive As Red Devils and Blues Win Quarterfinal Replays

Two quarterfinal-round replays were conducted Monday as England's FA Cup tournament continued:

At Manchester:

Cristiano Ronaldo's successful penalty kick in the 76th minute was the game's only goal as Machester United defeated Middlesbrough 1-0 to set up a semifinal-round encounter with Premiership basement-residing Watford.

At London:

Second-half tallies from Andriy Shevchenko (55') and Shawn Wright-Phillips (61') enabled Chelsea to hold off homestanding Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 to set up a semifinal-round matchup with Blackburn.
