FA Cup Fourth Round: Bolton, Wigan Head For Replay, Brighton Sends Watford Crashing, Non-League Crawley Town Through

Six clubs from Saturday’s 10:00 a.m. kick-offs booked places in the FA Cup’s fifth round, with Bolton and Wigan taking the start time’s only all-English Premier League tie to a replay. That match ended scoreless at the Reebok, while Brighton & Hove Albion, Burnley, Birmingham City, Reading, Sheffield Wednesday and Crawley Town are all through. They join Aston Villa and Leyton Orient, winners of early kick-offs, while the draw at the Reebok mimics the result at Goodison, Chelsea drawing Everton.

With SB Nation Soccer’s Graham MacAree having Birmingham City-Coventry City covered, here is the wrap-up of the other 10:00 a.m. kick-offs:

Watford 0-1 Brighton & Hove Albion: A well-deserved victory for Brighton, who saw an early Ashley Barnes goal hold up. Rene Gilmartin, Watford’s `keeper, will be the goat, having conceded on a stoppable shot, with with Watford having done little to compromise Brighton’s lead, the Championship team were deserved losers to their League One opponents.

Bolton 0-0 Wigan Athletic: Wigan will feel the better about this result, having rotated a number of their first choice for this trip to the Reebok. While the first half gave the impression this match had goals in it, the clubs go to the DW, having played to a scoreless draw.

Burnley 3-1 Burton Albion: The dream ends for the League Two side, Burnley taking out their frustrations with two goals from Chris Eagles. Martin Paterson added a late consolation to restore the two goal lead Calvin Zola’d cut in half.

Stevenage 1-2 Reading: Darius Charles’s 72nd minute equalizer restored Stevenage’s hopes, canceling out Mikele Leighterwood’s 29th minute opener. But when Shane Long pulled Reading back in front in the 87th minute, the Royals were into the fifth round.

Sheffield Wednesday 4-1 Hereford United: Swapped goals within 15 minutes held-up until Joe Heath’s sending-off broke the match open. Wednesday converted the ensuing penalty kick and was awarded another on their way to three 11-on-10 goals.

Torquay United 0-1 Crawley Town: A huge result for Crawley Town, the non-league club potentially earning another payday with their upset win at Torquay. Both teams ended on ten men, and when Torquay’s Kevin Nicholson hit the woodwork late, Crawley were almost made to pay for missing two penalty kicks.
