English FA Cup: Chelsea eke out 2-0 win over Wolves, Leicester City knocked out, other results


Wolves 0-2 Chelsea

Premier League leaders Chelsea reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup with victory over Wolves in an entertaining tie at Molineux.

Wolves, just five points above the Championship relegation zone, took a positive approach in the first half as George Saville lashed an early strike against the post.

Chelsea's defence was repeatedly tested before the visitors finally upped the tempo, forcing Wolves back and allowing Pedro to dart in and head home unmarked at the back post.

It was a very good game and very competitive, the top third was the difference between the sides. Wolves had lots of half-chances but when Chelsea had theirs, they took them.


Huddersfield 0-0 Man City

Manchester City are held to an entertaining goalless FA Cup fifth-round draw against Championship club Huddersfield at John Smith's Stadium.

Middlesbrough 3-2 Oxford United

Middlesbrough scrape into the FA Cup quarter-finals after fending off a second-half comeback from League One Oxford United at the Riverside.


Millwall 1-0 Leicester

10-man Millwall secure a stunning upset with a last-minute winner to beat Premier League champions Leicester City and reach the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.


Lincoln 1-0 Burnley

Lincoln became the first non-league side in 103 years to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals with a dramatic last-minute win over Premier League side Burnley at Turf Moor.

A breathless final few minutes saw the momentum swing both ways before Sean Raggett rose above the Burnley defence to head past Tom Heaton.

The visitors were then forced to defend through five minutes of stoppage time, with Andre Gray's shot saved by Paul Farman, before back-to-back corners were smashed away by the Lincoln defence.
