(AP)LONDON: Carlos Tevez's 16th goal of the season helped Manchester City earn a 4-2 win over second-tier Leicester in a FA Cup third-round replay Tuesday. The Argentina striker set City on its way in the 15th minute with a stunning individual effort and although he later missed a second-half penalty, the hosts had too much for Leicester as they set up a match at Notts County in the fourth round. Patrick Vieira and Adam Johnson scored in the space of 77 seconds to put Roberto Mancini's side 3-1 up at the break and Aleksandar Kolarov's late finish saw off the plucky visitors, coached by former City manager Sven-Goran Eriksson. Premier League struggler Wolverhampton thrashed Doncaster 5-0 to progress and will next play Stoke, which beat Cardiff 2-0 thanks to two extra-time goals by striker Jon Walters. Eriksson was making his return to Eastlands for the first time since he was fired by City at the end of the 2007-08 season, after just one year at the club. Sevilla in semifinals Sevilla reached the Copa del Rey semifinals for the fourth time in five seasons after beating Villarreal 3-0 Tuesday and 6-3 on aggregate. Villarreal needed victory at the Sanchez Pizjuan stadium but saw its hopes deflated from the 10th minute following Renato's opener. Villarreal created opportunities but the holder put the outcome beyond doubt with goals from Frederic Kanoute and Alexis Ruano within five minutes of the restart. Sevilla plays either Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid next, with Madrid leading 3-1 after the first leg going into Thursday's match at the Vicente Calderon stadium. Spanish league leader Barcelona is 5-0 up against second division leader Real Betis, while Almeria has a 1-0 advantage over Deportivo La Coruna. Napoli advances Napoli extended its run of good form in Serie A to the Italian Cup with a 2-1 win over Bologna Tuesday that set up a quarterfinal meeting with defending champion Inter Milan. French midfielder Hassan Yebda put Napoli ahead with a header in the ninth minute at the San Paolo stadium and Argentine striker Ezequiel Lavezzi doubled the lead in the 23rd following a pass from Marek Hamsik. Riccardo Meggiorini converted a penalty for Bologna in the 56th. The match was suspended briefly shortly after halftime due to a lighting outage. The quarterfinal pairings will be completed Wednesday and Thursday with AS Roma facing Lazio in a derby, Sampdoria hosting Udinese and Serie A leader AC Milan facing Bari. Napoli is second in Serie A, four points behind Milan.
