FA Cup

Reyes sends Chelsea packing

AFP, London
Jose Antonio Reyes rescued Arsenal by scoring twice in five minutes as the FA Cup holders came from behind to beat London rivals Chelsea 2-1 and secure their place in this season's quarter-finals here at Highbury on Sunday.
Reyes's first goals for Arsenal since the Spaniard's club record 17 million pounds move from Seville in January saw the Premiership leaders fight back against their third placed opponents after Adrian Mutu had given the visitors the lead five minutes before half-time.
The result saw Arsenal, unbeaten in the FA Cup since losing the 2001 final against Liverpool, keep alive their dream of a third successive Cup triumph, something no club has achieved since 1886, and an unprecedented fourth final in a row.
It was also their fourth FA Cup win over Chelsea in four seasons.
Arsenal were without Thierry Henry, the France striker ruled out with a foot injury, but Dutch forward Dennis Bergkamp was fit again following a calf problem
Chelsea keeper Carlo Cudicini started the match after a groin injury.
In the 12th minute Robert Pires released Gilberto but a superb cover tackle by Chelsea captain John Terry denied the Brazilian a shot.
William Gallas then forced a good save from Arsenal's German keeper Jens Lehmann.
Chelsea thought they had the lead in the 35th minute when Frank Lampard's cross was headed in by Jesper Gronkjaer only for the goal to be ruled out for offside. But replays suggested that was an incorrect decision.
However, barely five minutes later
Mutu eventually gave Chelsea the lead five minutes before half-time when Scott Parker blocked Lehmann's poor clearance.
Romanian striker Mutu beat Gunners defender Kolo Toure before lashing his shot past Lehmann.
But just before the break Arsenal's England full-back Ashley Cole saw Italian Cudicini tip over his testing drive.
However, there was nothing Cudicini could do about the 56th minute strike from Reyes
that levelled the match.
Given time and space on the edge of the box, the 20-year-old forward unleashed a fierce drive that flew into the top right corner of Cudicini's goal.
The Chelsea keeper went off soon afterwards, with what looked a recurrence of his old injury and replacement Neil Sullivan soon found himself picking the ball out of his own net.
Influential Arsenal skipper Patrick Vieira slipped in a precision pass behind the Chelsea defence that saw Reyes ghost in on the blind side of Mario Melchiot.
This time he opted for precision not power and although Sullivan got fingertips to the ball neither he nor the back-tracking Terry could prevent it crossing the line.
Reyes might have had a third minutes later when he twice had shots blocked in a goalmouth scramble.
Meanwhile Chelsea, for all the millions lavished on their squad by billionaire owner Roman Abramovich, never truly looked like equalising.
But Claudio Ranieri's men will have a chance for revenge when they face Arsenal at Stamford Bridge in the Premiership on Saturday.
