FA Cup

City, Magpies ousted

AFP, London
Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier said he expected his side to revive their faltering season after seeing them knock English Premiership rivals Manchester City out of the FA Cup with a 1-0 third round win at Maine Road on Sunday. The third round is the stage at which Premiership clubs enter the competition and is renowned for the upset results it frequently produces.
First Division Wolves duly obliged by knocking out Premiership high-flyers Newcastle 3-2 on Sunday in a thrilling match at Molineux while Fulham overcame fellow top-flight strugglers Birmingham 3-1.
After England midfielder Danny Murphy's second-half penalty had taken Liverpool into the fourth round after a run of 10 league games without a win, Houllier said: "From this match onwards we will step up in every game."
The result kept Liverpool, who face Sheffield United in the first leg of an English League Cup semi-final Wednesday and are still in the UEFA Cup, on course for a trophy treble.
Bobby Robson made no attempt to hide his anger after his Newcastle side failed to capitalise on a tremen- dous fightback at Molineux.
Goals from former Manchester United and England star Paul Ince and Republic of Ireland wing Mark Kennedy put Wolves 2-0 up inside 30 minutes.
But Newcastle twice responded in the closing minutes of the first half through Jermaine Jenas and a penalty from Ince's old England captain Alan Shearer.
However, George Ndah's strike four minutes after half-time completed the scoring although Wolves' win also owed much to three goal line clearances.
An angry Robson, who guided Ipswich to FA Cup Final victory back in 1978, said: "I am not just disappointed - I am sick. We have lost a gigantic game. I am cross, but I am trying to keep cool.
"The FA Cup is gone for us - it is history.
"I hope some of the players are as sick as I am. Again we have conceded three goals away from home and it is really inexplicable -we are not defending as well as we do at home," added Robson of his team who are fourth in the Premiership.
Last season Wolves, currently tenth in the First Division, squandered an 11 point lead while leading the table and missed out on promotion to the Premiership.
At Loftus Road, goals from
Argentine Facundo Sava, Danish international Bjarne Goldbaek and French striker Louis Saha sent Fulham into the fourth round before Stern John pulled one back for Birmingham in injury time.
The fourth round draw takes place on Monday at 1300GMT.
