FA Cup: Man U Blank Gunners; Late Goal Carries Trottters

The quarterfinal round of England's FA Cup commenced with two Saturday contests.

At Manchester, England:

Fabio Da Silva (28') and Wayne Rooney (49') provided the goals as Manchester United blanked visiting Arsenal 2-0, compounding the Gunners' recent problems following their League Cup defeat against Birmingham City two weekends ago and this past week's elimination from the UEFA Champions League at the hands of Barcelona.

At Birmingham, England:

Lee Chung-Yong scored the winning goal at 90 minutes as Bolton Wanderers advanced to their first FA Cup semifinal appearance since 2000 with a 3-2 road win over Birmingham City.
