Kuyt show sinks United, Chelsea downs Rangers
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 29 - 01 - 2012

Substitute Dirk Kuyt struck two minutes from time to give host Liverpool a 2-1 FA Cup fourth-round victory over Manchester United Saturday with visiting captain Patrice Evra being booed throughout and making a mistake for the winner.
Mike Williamson was the fall guy for Newcastle United as his 76th-minute own goal meant Championship (second division) Brighton and Hove Albion knocked out the Premier League side 1-0 in the late kickoff.
Fourth-tier Crawley Town stunned second division Hull City by the same score in the only other shock, while Chelsea also beat Queens Park Rangers 1-0.
United left back Evra was given a hostile Anfield reception after the Frenchman's involvement in a spat with Liverpool's Luis Suarez in October, which led to the Uruguayan forward's current eight-match ban for racial abuse.
Racism accusations were also the backdrop to Chelsea's win at Queens Park Rangers, where John Terry, in court next week after being charged over comments allegedly made to QPR's Anton Ferdinand in October, was kept away from his fellow defender as the clubs decided not to shake hands before kickoff. Like Evra, Terry was constantly heckled by the home fans whose wrath switched to the referee on 62 minutes when he awarded a soft penalty to Chelsea after Clint Hill was adjudged to have pushed Daniel Sturridge. Juan Mata converted the spot kick.
In two all-Premier League ties, Bolton overcame Swansea City 2-1 and Norwich City prevailed 2-1 at West Bromwich Albion. Stoke City won 2-0 at Derby County.
Other results included Blackpool 1-1 Sheffield Wednesday, Leicester City 2-0 Swindon Town, Millwall 1-1 Southampton, Sheffield United 0-4 Birmingham City, and Stevenage 1-0 Notts County.
Tottenham Hotspur beat second-tier Watford 1-0 Friday and Everton overcame Fulham 2-1.
