Fifth Round Highlights - Sunday The FA Cup

Hello, and welcome to highlights of the fifth round of

After yesterday's stunning cup wins the Lincoln City at Millwall, could

we be said for further shocks today has two Championship sides played

host to two Premier League heavyweights. COMMENTATOR: To the

fast ticket goes. Thought it was then in! He has put it in himself,

Cristhian Stuani just picked this. Pep Guardiola still in the FA Cup

but he hadn't Huddersfield have to do it all again. Millwall about to

take a hat-trick of Premier League scalps, and this time he had's the

champions! Hit's come to Diego Costa, and that has finished it and

sealed Chelsea's place in the last eight. Lincoln had made history,

this is one of the great shocks of the competition, and this wonderful

odyssey of an FA Cup continues. Joining me at a wet and windy Ewood

Park, Dion Dublin and Mark Lawrenson.

Blackburn were looking for a distraction from their

Championship relegation battle, their opposition today were Cup

Simon Brotherton is your commentator.

COMMENTATOR: Back in the 90s, they were title rivals but that must feel

like a distant memory, with Rovers in real danger of relegation to the

30. Their job is to try to turn the clock back in 90 minutes at least

against the cup holders who have the enough two Championship teams, as

they continue their pursuit of a record 13th FA Cup. Blackburn

without joint top scorer Sam Gallagher who needed 12 stitches in

a knee injury and the suspended duo of Elliott Bennett and hope Apple

can -- hope Akpan. Jose Mourinho has named a strong Manchester United 11.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is rested on the bench and when money is still absent

through injury. Seven changes from Thursday's Europa League line-up,

among them the return of Henrik Mkhitaryan and Michael Carrick in

midfield while Marcus Rashford leads the attack. He scored twice in the

third round against wedding, a 4-0 win at Trafford. Almost 15 minutes

in and very little to report in terms of activity at either end of

the field. Neither goalkeeper significantly tested. Emnes now. He

spreads the play away to the far side to Feeney. Four backbone

players inside the penalty area, Feeney with a delivery cutout by

Rojo, and Jesse Lingard with a stooping header. Mulgrew, Jemez, he

will look to fire, good shot! Saved by the marrow. It was a real finger

stained -- Emnes will look to fire. First effort on target of the game.

And homeground greatly encouraged by that. Carragher's cushioned header.

Forward by Loeb, collected by Emnes, strong enough to hold off Marcos

Rojo. He has done well. Polish play, superpowers, it's a great chance and

it's a cracking goal, scored by Danny Graham! Lovely, lovely stuff

from Blackburn! CHEERING What a girl, and it all came from

the hard work of Marvin Emnes here, who holds off Marcos Rojo time and

time again. Great run by Danny Graham, he gets in behind the

defence, and then finds the far corner of the net. Really good goal

for the Championship side, and the cup holders are behind at Ewood

Park. Jose Mourinho knows he is in a game

now. As Danny Graham celebrates his 12th goal of the season. The big

shock of the weekend and many an FA Cup weekend was just down the 65, a

fume ours away at Turf Moor yesterday. -- a few miles away,

about 30 miles away. Can Blackburn upset the cup applecart here? A long

way to go of course. Mkhitaryan, this looks dangerous but Herrera,

this is Lingard into the six yard box. And Herrera brings a save from

Steele. WHISTLE The flag is up on the near side.

Fiercely struck shot. From Ander Herrera. As Manchester United

threatening an equaliser. The ball only half cleared. Steele getting

both hands on it. He was keen to stress ahead of this on about how

serious it was about the cup and he respects the competition. His team

have got work to do here. Free kick Blackburn. Holding. Conceded by

Matteo Darmian. Jason Lowe and Danny Guthrie are the two players near the

ball from the overseer. Greer has popped up on the edge of the penalty

area, Mulgrew looking like he will head towards the far post. A

dangerous bounce potentially in the direction of Graham. Mkhitaryan,

twinkle to. What a lovely ball, fantastic pass, Rashford rounds

Steele, Manchester United goal, and Marcus Rashford has his third FA Cup

goal of the season, and United made it look so, so easy, as they cut

right down through the spine of the Blackburn team. Romero with the ball

out, make a terrier and avoided that first challenge and picked the pass

superbly -- Mkhitaryan. Rashford on to it like a flash. Cool head, calm

finish, 1-1. So Rashford with goal number seven of the season, and

Blackburn 's lead lasted for around ten minutes. Blackburn suddenly

leaning back on the ropes a bit. Forward towards Conway. He is in

ahead of Ashley Young here and makes the challenge. And you just wondered

for a moment whether that was headed for the roof of the net. Powerful

run from Conway. As the ball was sent flying just over the top of the

crossbar. Darmian, nice shot. Has humbly got a big first-half finish

in them before the whistle? Carrick looking for young. Proudly taken and

a good ball into the near post. Oh, and lingered with the heading of

chance. Can't find the back of the net -- Lingard. Blackburn 's defence

just disappeared for a moment and he could easily have paid for it.

Guthrie. Faced by Michael Carrick. The Feeney. A touch from Danny

Graham, and the shot brings the save from Romero. It was Craig Conway.

Quick to turn and shoot. Double change being made by Jose Mourinho.

Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic the two players coming on. United do

not want a replay, they want to get the job done today.

So the reinforcements are on, what difference can they make a? This is

Ashley Young, first touch for Pogba. Finding Ander Herrera now, however,

it was a chance, and Ibrahimovic almost on the end of it could easily

have scored there with his very first touch. He's only just come off

the bench, and he very nearly applied the finishing touch there to

that inviting looking ball in from Ander Herrera.

Feeney, good play. Feeney has ended up on the deck. Guthrie now finding

Graham. They are playing some good stuff, Blackburn. Mulgrew. Oh, it

wasn't quite the past that he was looking for. Not enough height on

the past to clear the defence. Away to Conway over on the far side. And

now it's with Liam Feeney, the crowd on the edge of their seats! As it

flashes past the far post. WHISTLE Out of play. How about this? Liam

Rosenior sends the ball in, took a little deflection, Jemez racing in

on the far post, just a yard or two behind the ball. Blackburn saying --

staying organised and committed in defence. Pogba looks for the opening

as a Braehmer veg trysts in behind Gordon Greer, Ibrahimovic! You can't

give him an opportunity like that and expect any good to come of it!

Bowl Ibrahimovic drifts in behind Gordon Greer. Ibrahimovic puts

Manchester United ahead. He reads the ball so well, he anticipates

well. Just watch him go here, Headstart, he's onside, played

onside and just look at the space he had. And he is absolutely lethal, as

we all know, in a situation like this. And, for the first time, with

15 minutes to go, the Championship side are behind. It's Blackburn

Rovers 1-2 Manchester United. Is that the goal that puts the

cup-holders into the quarterfinals? Time just starting to run a little

bit short of the Championship side. This is Anthony Stokes.

Mahoney, he is away from Darmian again, and from Carrick, how and

there was a chance, and M brings the save, and they are level, but

the flag has gone up, and it will not count, and Rovers have been

denied the equalising goal -- Emnes brings the save. What a close run

thing. Inside the last five minutes of the match. Let's have a look

again here, Mahoney once more, as slippery as an eel, and the ball

just spooned out by the goalkeeper, and there, the flag going up

straightaway. Stokes in an offside position as he suddenly became

active and lashed the ball home. And the celebrations soon cut short.

They can be proud of the effort put in by their team today but it looks

as if it is the Manchester United fans who will go home to happier.

Blackburn now, this final couple of minutes of added time, just not

getting a kick. Herrera. It has been a good effort from the Championship

team, the struggling Championship team, but in the end it wasn't quite

enough, but they gave the cup-holders a fright, acknowledged

by Jose Mourinho with a smashing opening goal from Danny Graham, but

in the end it was the class of Zlatan Ibrahimovic that turned the

tide permanently in United 's favour. Marcus Rashford having

equalised in the first half. Ibrahimovic and Pogba came off the

bench, and soon afterwards Manchester United were head and

ultimately through into the last eight of the FA Cup. A good cup tie,

this one. They gave us a hard game.

Congratulations to them because their approach was brave, it was

strong. Martin had the game in his hands, easily. They had good

attitude. If we didn't have this professional attitude with

everybody, playing with focus and responsibility, we would be in real

trouble. Do you take pride in the fact that Jose Mourinho felt he had

to send on two players with the class of Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba

to get a game done? I had a chat with him just before the game.

Because of the quality he has, he obviously watched a number of our

games. Was very complimentary. I was there the other night when Jesse

Lingard and Marcus Rashford against Saint Etienne. We knew we would have

to be focused. But it is very proud for the players that they had to

introduce those players to win the game. It is not easy, because those

teams are playing with everything against us. We take this competition

very seriously because we are the winners right now. We want to be at

Wembley. Are you ready for an important week? Yes, as I was saying

one week ago, Southampton is sleeping, eating and resting to be

ready for the final. We had to play Saint Etienne, we have had this big

fight here, now we go to Saint Etienne again, so much more

difficult for us. But good because we are in the cup competition.

Manchester United through to the quarterfinals of the FA Cup, they

had to call in their big guns in the end? It was like an insurance

policy. The bench was seamlessly loaded and not a lot of Blackburn

could do about it because of people missing through injury and

suspicion. Paul Pogba raised the pace of the game completely. It is

the difference I think between a championship team and a Premiership

team. When the Premiership team plays at that level, it is

difficult for the championship team to be competitive. There was a lot

of energy from Pogba. He wanted the ball, Ibrahimovic's movement was too

much for their defence. The other thing about it, when you are the

other nine on the pitch and they come on, you think then, we are

going for it. Then everybody starts to hurry a bit and that is the

difference. You get two players like that coming on and then their body

language goes the other way. You take a step back, it is a big pitch

and then the place just opened up for United. You have to give credit

to Blackburn, second from bottom and two wins from 13 games in the

championship. The highest they have been in the league is 20th. They are

missing all sorts of players. When you look at the players who played

and the ones who are missing that would be regular, you wonder why

they are in the bottom three anyway. I thought the application, they

tried to play some good football, they took the game to United on

their home patch and did very well. How good was that goal from Danny

Graham, arguably their best player so far this season? On the edge of

the box, turned and twist. Swinging left foot, put it in the top corner.

Movement was good. When Feeney was on, they were really good. They

posed all sorts of problems for United. It looked inevitable for

United to get back on level terms. The goalkeeper gets the ball and he

threw it to Mkhitaryan. Mkhitaryan looked at the Blackburn player and

thought, I am going to get clattered. He just got it past him.

Then he put his head up, and there won't be a better ball played in the

FA Cup. As for the winner, from Ibrahimovic, goal number 24,

composed finish? He took his time and Pogba picked out the right pass.

When Paul Pogba gets the ball, he always looks to see where

Ibrahimovic is. And he knows that. He let it bounce, the keeper didn't

come out. Normally the goalkeeper would have had a shout, but he

didn't have a chance. United are battling on four fronts, plenty of

courage meant for Blackburn as they go into their relegation battle.

There was another cup tied, as fallen, took on Tottenham in what

was a highly contested affair. Commentary comes from Kevin Kilbane

and Guy Mobley. COMMENTATOR: Surely there are fewer

better places to be done here. It is a surprise to some that Harry Kane

was passed fit to play. He tweaked his knee in the Roper league defeat

on Thursday. The manager has gone really big with his selection this

afternoon. Fulham have Marcus Bettinelli in

goal. It is a front line of power and pace. Sone Aluko, 28 today. Here

is the strong Spurs side. It is pretty much the first choice

front four, led by Harry Kane. Christian Eriksen has been making

them but not scoring them, he has gone ten games without a goal.

Kane, took too long making his mind up what to do next. Spurs are into

the tackles. That was excellent from Dennis

Oberoi. The flag is up against Christian Eriksson and that will be

a Fulham free kick. The manager is a former Chelsea player, spent two

years at Chelsea Bridge and was an unused substitute in the 2002 cup

final. That was goal bound, but for Marcus Bettinelli getting down

sharpish. Tim Ream, initially goes for that ball. Morrissey departure

Chino has remained philosophical. Son, was trying to hold of Tom

Cairney. Dele Alli! Not far away. Just past the post. Little bit of

nervousness creeping in. Two good chances for Spurs in a couple of

minutes now. You have to do the run, try and

force the error as he did there, in the Skins Cubano. Disappointing

corner. The goalkeeper had it covered but he might as questions

have Malone was allowed to get back close. Antonio Kante has made the

short trip across to see his west London neighbours in action today.

He might face one of these two teams in the next round. He is always at

Craven Cottage. Richard Osman. Kane! Stretches to score. Harry

Kane, the Tottenham captain scores his 17th goal of the season. It is

Tottenham's Number Ten. Great awareness from Kieran Trippier. He

sees the space in behind. It looks a tap in by Harry Kane, but he is

stretching. He wrong foots Marcus Bettinelli. The last time the sides

met in the Premier League almost three years ago, Harry Kane scored

the second of three Spurs goals and they came about after Christian

Eriksen free kicks. What a touch that is from Dele Alli. Just

couldn't get his left foot on it to get a decent strike. Fulham, a

little bit too passive. You see them score a lot of goals in the

championship. That was messy. He has redeemed

himself, just about. But he very nearly gifted Fulham leveller. No

need to take that chance. Tom Cairney, if he takes his touch, he

is being closed down. The good reaction from Michel Vorm.

He hit it hard enough, Stefan Johansen. The first mistake is made

by Jan the Tongan. Better from Fulham. -- Jan Vertonghen. Tim Ream,

just managed to get it away. Something for Fulham before the

break? Sone Aluko's effort on goal, but straight at the goalkeeper. What

a ball that is. Should be doing better. Just up until that Fulham

flurry, comfortable is the word. Kane, tries to get to the near post.

Nice, comfortable save for Marcus Bettinelli. Kieran Trippier caused

all kinds of problems in the first half.

Good ball in... Finished by Harry Kane! It might have finished this FA

Cup tie. Well, difficult now for Fulham to get back into this one.

Fulham fingers are pointing at the assistant referee, but he kept his

flag down, Harry Kane kept his cool and gets his second goal of the

game. Very tight. Great ball from Christian Eriksen, nonetheless. All

the noise around the stadium is Tottenham noise.

Dele Alli, put it over the top. He was being challenged as he got in

there. It is the best chance he has had today.

Dele Alli, wouldn't quite come down to his boots, he was caught, though.

Holding his right leg, and Spurs have a free kick. It is the hybrid

from Janssen. Excellent touch again from Dele Alli as the ball was

played into him. Avenue towards Kane. Bettinelli

stays at home and it is poked over the top. Wouldn't come down quick

enough. That second touch off his knee that allow the ball to get away

from him. Couldn't get the hat-trick goal that time, another chance I'm

sure will come. Fulham are giving this a go to try and stay alive.

Malone gets the deflection, Fulham get the corner. Certainly been much

brighter from Fulham. One Fulham goal could really change the feel of

things. Johannson, that might have been the chance but just over the

top. Chance. Kevin McDonald gets in front of Wanyama.

Bettinelli down the middle. Could not get close enough to the Tongan.

It has fallen for Eriksen. Dele Alli, Harry Kane onside, Ian on goal

to score his hat-trick -- to Vertonghen. Harry Kane sales at once

and for all for Spurs. It is his fifth treble for the team, his

second of 2017, having scored three in a 4-0 win over West Bromwich

Albion just over a month ago. A brilliantly weighted pass from Dele

Alli, a little luck to the linesman, seeing he is onside and on the

composure and the ability to slotted past Bettinelli in goal. Brilliant

from Harry Kane. At 23 years old he has become a talisman for the team.

He is their main man. A pretty good afternoon to you and

to the team. Very good. We have had a feud great results recently so we

wanted to come and get the win and we did that. We played very well,

comfortable, probably should have had a few more goals, but it was a

great game of round and we are happy to go home with the win. You have a

great partnership with hurry up front. Yes, of course, we have

played alongside each other for a while and we know how to make runs

and where the ball should be. Of course we could have scored a few

more, could have passed a few more times as well, but overall, Le Carre

said, happy to win. Today with different names we showed we could

compete. Then with Liverpool with struggled a little bit to compete

with different names and different players. I am happy because good

reaction today, a very difficult team. Always difficult to compete.

Very pleased and very happy with the performance. We arrived in the game

with different intentions. At the end it is very clear what exists the

difference between us. It is never easy in the FA Cup, as you see

yesterday with some of the results. We had to make sure we came here and

their job and did that. In the end a Conference victory as far as birds

concern. They have got that spark and desire back that Pochettino said

was missing. It's the bid a difficult few days the Tottenham.

Surprise, surprise, Premier League team in the top six picked a really

strong team and won away in the FA Cup. Absolutely. That's the thing.

And then when you get to a stage where you are 3-0 up, you can take

your top players. Some of the teams that have gone out of the

competition this year, Liverpool for one, you look at that and think, why

on earth did you not approach the FA Cup in exactly the same way?

Liverpool aren't even in Europe and Tottenham. It is madness. Exactly

the kind of performance Rocio Pochettino wanted from his side.

Only scored one goal in the last four in all competitions. They

hat-trick from Carrick came. Considered a -- from Harry Kane.

Considered a gamble to play him. You're I would rather gamble and

play him than not play him and lose. Harry Kane looked very sharp. All

kinds of finishes. That is what the manager wants to see. Getting back

in a purple patch, and he can take it into the leak as well. And the

way they squeezed up tight against Fulham. They had nowhere to go. That

is how Spurs play and how they have got to play. I think Philip helped

them a little bit. -- Fulham helped them. Totally laudable, because they

tried to play football but it definitely helped Tottenham today.

Caused their own downfall in many respects, but they continued in the

same vein in the second half. Full tried to play the right way. It did

not work for them today. Was it naivete? Under those circumstances

you have defined it another way. Maybe it was naivete, maybe gain

management by the players. One major plus that Pochettino can take from

that? They are in the next round. Now they have the thing is they

buried the result in Belgium in the week. Everyone has forgotten about

it and they have won 3-0. Happy cigar time, isn't it? They are

through to the last eight and the draw for the quarterfinals made

earlier today and this is how they came out of the hat. Chelsea at home

to Manchester United. That Alsbury will play the winner between

Huddersfield and Manchester City. A London affair at White Hart Lane

between Tottenham and Millwall, and the winner between Sutton and

Arsenal will take on Lincoln City. So it could possibly, if we have a

miracle result, have a non-league quarterfinal. Yeah. Dream on a

little bit. Mind you, it has been that way, so we have an humbly

bubbly massive heavyweight competition in terms of Chelsea and

Manchester United full stop the other thing is well above the next

round, it is sudden death. There are no replays. Which will be a welcome

relief to the managers. But the other thing is, and on this

particular day going forward, the cup is alive, you have Chelsea,

Manchester United, all London derby, Tottenham and Millwall. It is a very

enticing draw. Dion, the likes of Tottenham and Manchester City, they

will be licking their lips in this competition, won't they? You'd hope

so. Spurs and Millwall, that is going to be an exciting one, but the

big one, Chelsea- United. That will be some game. Mauro doesn't think it

will be a TV game, I think you will. Yes, all five of them! Wycombe

should have beaten Spurs. That is the other thing. OK, thanks very

much indeed. And if you've been inspired

by the action today, you can still enter the People's

Cup. On Saturday 27th of May, 90,000

That is your love from Ewood Park, thank you for your Company, shall we

go in and get right? Tottenham and United are through to the last eight

of the FA Cup. The question is can Sutton do the unthinkable and join

them? For now from all of us goodbye.

Harry Kane in on goal to score his hat-trick!
