Black Cats survive Selhurst Park welcome

It was a dramatic night in the FA Cup third round replays - two went to extra-time, with Sunderland powering to a 4-2 victory over Crystal Palace.

Potential Irish international Clinton Morrison fired Palace ahead only for Niall Quinn to crack home a stunning volley to level it for Sunderland.

Following two Kevin Phillips goals, Kevin Kilbane netted the Black Cats' fourth to seal the victory and book a passage through to face Ipswich in the fourth round.

At Loftus Road, two Chris Kiwomya goals helped QPR to a 2-1 overtime win against Luton Town.

The Hatters had gone ahead through Lee Mansell in the first minute. Rangers face Kiwomya's old club Arsenal in the next round.

It was all rather routine at Villa Park, meanwhile.

A Dariuz Vassell strike five minutes into the second half helped Aston Villa to a 1-0 win over Newcastle, meaning Leicester City are up next for them in the Cup.
