Although defender Robert Huth scored the winning goal for Stoke in their FA Cup clash against Wolverhampton at Molineux, it's Thomas Sorensen who's the hero after saving a penalty deep inside injury time and preserving Stoke's 1-0 lead. Serbian midfielder Nenad Milijas was brought down in the area by Huth, and he dusted himself off to take the 92nd minute spot kick. Astonishingly, Sorenson managed to keep it out, leaving the home fans heartbroken in what was a far more dramatic finish that the game strictly deserved.
Wolverhampton Wanderers Vs. Stoke City: Late Penalty Miss Hands Stoke Win
Huth's goal had only come nine minutes prior to the penalty, after eighty minutes of what could probably be charitably described as hideously boring football. The ex-Chelsea defender jumped high to nod in a neat delivery swung in by Matty Etherington to give the visitors the lead in the 81st minute - and the Potters magically survived a late Wolves onslaught as well as the penalty scare to advance to the fifth round.
Two other FA Cup matches are at half time right now, with Manchester City being held scoreless at Nottingham County on a pitch that would barely be considered suitable for a demolition derby. Playing in knee-deep mud is apparently the great equaliser. Meanwhile, West Ham aren't making themselves look very special at home against Nottingham Forest, and a the only reason they're not behind is a Victor Obinna long range goal from a highly improbably angle that leveled things up at 2-2 in the 42nd minute.
