On Saturday, the prestigious FA Cup matches of the fourth and fifth rounds were played at the stadiums in England.
Defending champions London's "Chelsea" footballers suffered a painful defeat in front of their own fans in a penalty shootout against Liverpool's "Everton" eleven in a replay.
The main match ended goalless, so the teams had to play extra time, in which the "Blues" took the lead after Frank Lampard's goal, but in the 119th minute Leighton Baines restored parity with a great penalty shot.
In the penalty shootout "lottery", the home team once again had an advantage, but unsuccessful attempts by Nicolas Anelka and Ashley Cole allowed the "Toffees" to celebrate advancing to the next round.
Meanwhile, the "Man Utd" team, without many key players, narrowly defeated the fifth-tier English football division club "Crawley" 1-0 at "Old Trafford" stadium. The only goal was scored by Wes Brown.
In other matches, the teams "Birmingham" and "Stoke" emerged victorious.
Results:
"Chelsea" 1 - 1 Liverpool "Everton" (11 m. penalty shootout 3-4)
"Birmingham" 3 - 0 "Sheffield Wednesday"
"Stoke" 3 - 0 "Brighton"
"Man Utd" 1 - 0 "Crawley"
