Villa And Chelsea Win Their Way To Wembley

Two more games from the quarterfinal round of England's FA Cup were contested on Sunday.

At Reading, England:

John Carew's hat trick (51', 57', PK-90') enabled Aston Villa to erase a two-goal deficit and defeat Reading (the last remaining non-Premiership club left in the tournament) 4-2 on the road. 

At London:

Goals from Frank Lampard (35') and John Terry (67') helped carry Chelsea to a 2-0 home win over Stoke City.

For the semifinal round at Wembley Stadium in London, Chelsea will take on Aston Villa on April 10.  The following day, star-crossed Portsmouth will battle the winner of the March 24 Tottenham Hotspur-Fulham replay (at White Hart Lane in London---Spurs home pitch) in the other semifinal.

The final, itself, will be played, also at Wembley, on May 15.
