Summary Chelsea, Manchester City and Wigan scoring four times each to move into next round of FA Cup.

 

The FA Cup produced goals rather than shocks, with Chelsea, Manchester City and Wigan scoring four times each Sunday to knock out lower-league opponents.

 

Held to a 2-2 tie by third-tier Brentford three weeks ago, Chelsea got second-half goals from Juan Mata, Oscar, Frank Lampard and John Terry to win its fourth-round replay 4-0. Lampard s goal was his 199th for the Blues, three behind the club record set by Bobby Tambling from 1959-70.

 

Chelsea will play at Middlesbrough on Feb. 27 to decide who plays the winner of Monday s match between Manchester United and Reading.

 

Manchester City defeated second-tier Leeds 4-0 and advanced to a quarterfinal against Barnsley. After Yaya Toure scored five minutes in, Sergio Aguero converted a penalty kick, then helped set up Carlos Tevez s second-half goal and scored the finale.

 

Wigan beat second-tier Huddersfield 4-1 as Arouna Kone scored twice and Callum McManaman and James McArthur had one goal each, and it will play Everton or Oldham. Millwall meets Blackburn, guaranteeing there will be a second-tier club in the semifinals at Wembley Stadium in April.
