LONDON — Arsenal sent Liverpool crashing out of the FA Cup, avenging last weekend's rout at Anfield, when it beat Brendan Rodgers's high-flyers 2-1 in a full-bloodied fifth round tie at the Emirates Stadium Sunday. The Londoners, who lost 5-1 to Liverpool in the Premier League on Feb. 8, won with a 16th-minute goal from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and a 47th-minute strike from Lukas Podolski before Steven Gerrard halved the arrears with a penalty on the hour. Arsenal meets Everton in next month's quarterfinals after it beat Swansea City 3-1 at Goodison Park where Roberto Martinez stayed on course to become the first manager to win the FA Cup in successive seasons with different teams. He led Wigan Athletic to victory over Manchester City in last season's final and those two sides will face each other again in the last eight after the draw was made Sunday. On Saturday, Manchester City beat league leader Chelsea 2-0 while Wigan won 2-1 at Cardiff City. Although Arsenal's victory meant there would be no all-Merseyside clash in the quarterfinals, there could be another derby after League One Sheffield United ended the 16-match unbeaten run of Championship side Nottingham Forest with a 3-1 win at Bramall Lane. United will face Sheffield Wednesday in the competition for the first time since they met in the 1993 semifinals if the latter eventually beat Charlton Athletic in a tie that was postponed on Saturday because of bad weather. The other last-eight clash is between Sunderland, who ousted Southampton 1-0 Saturday, and Brighton and Hove Albion or Hull City who meet Monday. The quarterfinals will be played on the weekend of March 8/9. Juventus, Napoli win Serie A leader Juventus, which squandered a two-goal lead in a draw with Verona last week, made no mistake this time as it comfortably beat lowly Chievo 3-1 Sunday. Kwadwo Asamoah, Claudio Marchisio and Fernando Llorente shared the goals for Juventus while Martin Caceres put through his own net to give Chievo a glimmer of hope early in the second half. Third-placed Napoli won 2-0 at Sassuolo which dropped to the bottom after Catania surprisingly overcame Lazio 3-1. Parma won 4-0 at Atalanta and Genoa and Udinese drew 3-3. Juventus leads with 63 points from 24 games while AS Roma, which hosts Sampdoria in the evening match (1945), has 51 and Rafael Benitez's Napoli 50. Inter Milan's Rodrigo Palacio and Mauro Icardi struck in a 2-1 win at Fiorentina Saturday to secure its struggling side's first away victory in Serie A since early November. Inter's second win in a row moves Walter Mazzarri's fifth-placed side to 39 points. Monaco moves up James Rodriguez steered Monaco back to within five points of Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain after netting both goals in a 2-0 win away to Bastia Saturday. Defeat for Bastia, just a second home loss of the season for the Corsican side, saw it remain in eighth. Elsewhere, Zambian defender Stoppila Sunzu scored a late winner for Sochaux as it beat Guingamp 1-0 to claw to within five points of safety. Reims climbed to sixth after a 1-0 win at home to Bordeaux, while Toulouse came from behind to beat 10-man Lorient 3-1 in Brittany. Souleymane Camara snatched a late equalizer for Montpellier in a 2-2 draw at Rennes, while Nice against Nantes ended in a goalless stalemate. On Friday, Paris Saint-Germain strolled to a 3-0 win at home to struggling Valenciennes through goals from Ezequiel Lavezzi, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and an own-goal from Gary Kagelmacher. — Agencies
