Att: 19,735 Ref: Martin Atkinson STOKE 3 ARSENAL 1Sol Campbell endured a mis- erable return to the arsenal ranks as Stoke City clinched a memora- ble Fa Cup win at the britannia Stadium. Two headers from Ricardo Full- er, one in each half, and a late strike from Dean Whitehead set the potters up for a fifth-round trip to manchester City. arseneWenger brought in several youngsters for the fourth-round tie, but the inclusion of Campbell, making his first appearance for the Gunners since scoring in the 2006 Champions league final against barcelona in paris, was the most notable selection. Stoke got off to the perfect start, taking the lead in the second minute when their famed long- throw tactic paid off. Rory Delaps effort arrowed into the penalty area, bypassing Camp- bell, for Fuller to beat lukasz Fabianski to the ball and head into By David Kennedy an empty net. but despite creat- ing little to trouble the hosts, arse- nal were level three minutes before the break. Captain Cesc Fabregas squared a short free-kick to Denilson who fired a low drive past Thomas Sorensen into the bottom corner. Fuller restored the advantage on 78 minutes outjumping Campbell to head home mamady Sidibes cross, before Whitehead ensured the upset as he slotted in five min- utes from time.

In the other big fourth-round tie 2008 winners portsmouth travel to bitter south coast rivals Southampton. leeds will once again face top flight opposition if they win their replay with Tottenham after they were drawn against owen Coyles bolton. elsewhere, Wolves can set up a midlands derby with aston Villa if they overcome Crystal palace in their replay at Selhurst park, while holders Chelsea will be confident of securing a place in the last eight with a home draw against Cardiff. Pulis puts win down to spirit Stoke boss tony Pulis hailed his sides spirit after their pulsating FA Cup win against Arsenal. Pulis (pictured) said: We are very pleased with the win. Nobody can question our spirit and togetherness, and the lads have shown that again to get us into the fifth round. We knew that whatever side Arsene Wenger selected, it would always be a quality team. they were top of the Premier League this week and for Arsene to say we were dangerous is a compliment.

In a pulsating tie, Roberto mancinis men sealed victory against their Championship opponents thanks to Robinhos 84th- minute goal. The match at at Glanford park looks likely to be the 32million brazilians final game for City after he started the day by telling a radio station in his home country he was leaving eastlands. Robinho had a hand in Citys opener as well, feeding martin petrov in the third minute for the bulgarian to crash the opener past Joe murphy. petrovs goal stirred the hosts and Cliff byrne saw his header crash off the underside of the crossbar. but the home side drew level in the 29th minute when a short corner led to confusion in the City penalty area and paul hayes found space to volley into the top corner. City nudged back ahead in the final minute of the half when Stephen Ireland threaded a neat ball into the Scunthorpe penalty area and nedum onuoha shot home from a tight angle. Sylvinho effectively wrapped the tie up in the 57th minute, the brazilian unleashing a stunning left- foot strike from 35 yards. but Scunthorpe found renewed hope in the 69th minute through a boyata own goal before Robinho had the final say. u polICe will step up security for Wednesdays Carling Cup semi-final, second leg between manchester United and City amid fears the row between Carlos Tevez and Gary neville could provoke trouble between rival fans. extra police will be on duty for what is described as the highest risk game at old Trafford this season.
