Two Premier League sides continue to hold home leads in today’s FA Cup third round replays, with the other coming close to taking a lead in Wales. Still, though 15 minutes of the second halves, only Wolves have found the scoresheet, now looking safe bets to reach the fourth round.
FA Cup Replays: Manchester City, Wolves Hold Leads Through Early Part Of Second Halves
Manchester City 3-1 Leicester City - The Citizens have retreated into the deep, compact, ready-to-counter crouch - the position they've sat in through much of the Premier League campaign. The tactic almost produced a fourth goal early in the half and eventually created a penalty kick when Carlos Tévez was brought down by Jack Hobbs. Chris Weale, however, saved the ensuing spot kick, keeping Leicester within two.
Wolverhampton 2-0 Doncaster Rovers - Geoffrey Mujangi Bia, making a rare appearance, converted a cross from Ronald Zubar, beating Neil Sullivan for his first Wolves goal. The goal comes after a strong opening to the second half from Doncaster, but in a turn that mimics the first half's play, it was Wolves that produced the better change.
Cardiff City 0-0 Stoke City - Stoke almost claimed a goal within minutes of kick-off, nearly converting a corner kick. Since, the match has settling back into the muted action that defined the first half.
