Kalou denies hotshot Spurs

Blackburn and Watford reach last four

Rangers keep SPL race alive

—– Tottenham Hotspur look set to become the first team to win at Chelsea in a domestic game during the Jose Mourinho era as they lead their FA Cup Sixth Round tie 3-1 at the interval.
They fail to end their 17-year winless jinx at Stamford Bridge though as Salomon Kalou hits an 86th minute equaliser to earn a replay.
Spurs have now scored 14 goals in their last four games but demanding manager Martin Jol bemoans further missed chances: “They threw everything at us, with three strikers. I knew that it would have been over if we scored a fourth goal and we could have done that.”

—– In a 2-0 win against Manchester City, Aaron Mokoena is the hero turned villain as he scores his first goal for Blackburn Rovers with the opener but is later sent-off.
City are backed by over 7,000 supporters at Ewood Park and they vent their frustration on the Premiership strugglers and under-fire manager Stuart Pearce at the close of their FA Cup exit.

—– Watford reach the semi-finals for the fifth time in their history with a hard-fought 1-0 win at Championship survivors Plymouth Argyle.
Hornets boss Adrian Boothroyd hopes their FA Cup success can rub off on to their Premiership relegation campaign: “Not winning that much in the season can take its toll but they have kept going and been resilient and I’m just delighted we are in the semi-finals.
“We are in the semi-final and it keeps our season bubbling along. It just keeps that effervescence going that we keep going for each game.”

—– With success in the Black County derby, Wolverhampton Wanderers are proving to be the dark horses in the Championship promotion race.
After their 1-0 win against West Bromwich Albion at Molineux, manager Mick McCarthy says: “They keep tipping Sunderland to win it; we are only a point behind them so hopefully we can tag along on their coat-tails.”
It’s Wolves’ sixth successive win and their first against their local rivals since March 2001.

—– After five games without a win, former leaders Oldham Athletic get their League One Play-Off hopes back on track with a 4-0 win against Doncaster Rovers at Boundary Park.

—– It’s maybe only delaying the inevitable, but Rangers keep the SPL title race alive with 1-0 Old Firm win at Celtic.
The unlikely matchwinner is Ugo Ehiogu with a overhead kick.
The gap at the top is reduced to a little matter of 16 points.

—– In a protest again the local council’s alleged lack of co-operation, Chester City chairman Stephen Vaughan reveals that he has enquired about changing the club’s name: “Part of our ground is in Flintshire - it could be called Chester-Flint, or Chester-Ellesmere Port.”
Mr Vaughan has previously voiced his frustration.
In December 2005, he threatened to move the League Two club to play more than 20 miles away in Widnes where he is chairman of the local rugby league club.
