Kuyt earns Liverpool FA Cup victory

Man Utd beaten at Anfield and Chelsea win at QPR to reach fifth round


Liverpool 2-1 Manchester United

Liverpool left it late to beat Manchester United in the fourth round of the FA Cup in an entertaining contest at Anfield.
The Reds won it with only two minutes remaining, Dirk Kuyt latching on to an Andy Carroll flick-on and keeping his cool to fire past United goalkeeper David de Gea.
Liverpool had taken a first-half lead when Daniel Agger nodded in from a corner and though United levelled thanks to a fine strike from Ji-Sung Park, Kuyt popped up late on to win it.

Queens Park Rangers 0-1 Chelsea

Chelsea also booked their place in the fifth round of the FA Cup thanks to a second-half penalty against west London rivals Queens Park Rangers.
Spanish midfielder Juan Mata slotted in from the spot in the 62nd minute after QPR defender Clint Hill was adjudged to have fouled Daniel Sturridge in the penalty area.

Mata forced a fine save from Paddy Kenny and Joey Barton's shot that flew wide proved QPR's best effort, while Chelsea midfielder Ramires was stretchered off with a serious-looking injury towards the end.
