John Terry dedicates goal celebration to Chelsea fans

Chelsea captain John Terry says his goal celebration in Sunday's FA Cup victory over Stoke was a tribute to Blues fans for their support.

Terry has endured a turbulent few weeks following allegations about his private life and lost the England captaincy.

After heading Chelsea's second goal in a 2-0 quarter-final win, he celebrated by pointing to his captain's armband.

"The armband means a lot. Chelsea have been supportive. We wanted to show the fans what it meant to us," said Terry.

Terry was booed throughout Sunday's tie at Stamford Bridge by the visiting Stoke supporters, who lambasted the 29-year-old over his alleged affair with Vanessa Perroncel, the ex-girlfriend of former Chelsea team-mate and current Manchester City defender Wayne Bridge.

Mancini insists his job is safe despite cup exit to Stoke

Roberto Mancini insisted his job was not under threat - despite Manchester City being dumped out of the FA Cup by Stoke.

The pressure increased on Mancini after his 10-man City side saw their last hope of ending their 34-year wait for a trophy evaporate at the Britannia Stadium.

Emmanuel Adebayor was the villain after his straight red card for lashing out at Ryan Shawcross handed Stoke a one-man advantage which they captitalised on in extra-time.

Crystal Palace boss Neil Warnock rages as linesman's blunder saves Aston Villa

Neil Warnock has called for linesman Trevor Massey to be banned after the official's decision to award Aston Villa a corner cost Crystal Palace a place in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Massey appeared to wrongly indicate a corner which led to Stiliyan Petrov scoring Villa's equaliser three minutes from time in the 2-2 draw at Selhurst Park. Replays showed the ball went behind off Villa substitute Nathan Delfouneso after bouncing off the head of Palace keeper Julian Speroni.

Redknapp: Hat-trick hero Defoe as good as Rooney

Harry Redknapp ribbed Jermain Defoe for not scoring SIX after he destroyed Leeds with his third hat-trick of the season.

Defoe ended Leeds’ giant-killing FA Cup run and took his goals tally to 20 - and was hailed as the sharpest finisher in the league alongside Wayne Rooney.

The in-form England striker snuffed out the defiant Yorkshiremen with strikes in the 37th, 72nd and 90th minutes - as Spurs weathered a plucky home fight-back before half time.

The eight time winners comfortably claimed a fifth round trip to Bolton after being pegged back by Luciano Becchio’s leveller just before half time.

Brilliant Reading shock Liverpool in FA Cup

An extra-time goal from Shane Long capped a stunning comeback for Championship strugglers Reading as they knocked Liverpool out of the FA Cup.

Liverpool fortuitously took the lead when Ryan Bertrand deflected Steven Gerrard's cross into his own net.

In second-half injury time Reading were rewarded for their endeavour throughout when Gylfi Sigurdsson levelled from the spot after a foul on substitute Long.
