On Sunday, in England, two more matches of the Football Association Cup (FA cup) eighth-finals were played, in which "Man City" defeated "Preston" at the end of the match as guests, while in the London derby "Tottenham" crushed "Fulham". "Preston" took the lead first in the 8th minute, when the 21-year-old leader of the hosts David Nugent scored their 14th goal of the season. Later, Michael Ricketts missed great opportunities. The hosts dominated the field in the first half-hour of the match, and the "Preston" fans greeted every touch of the "Man City" players with ironic shouts. However, the score soon became level. After a pass from Bernardo Corradi, defender Michael Ball scored a goal. After the break, the game leveled out, but towards the end of the match, the more experienced "Man City" players still managed to break their opponents. In the 85th minute, after a shot from Georgios Samaras, the ball rebounded off Matthew Hill and went into the goal, and in the last minutes, Stephen Ireland also scored. In the match between "Fulham" and "Tottenham", the latter scored a goal in the 7th minute. After receiving a long pass from Mido, Robbie Keane scored from approximately 20 meters. "Fulham" tried to equalize. In the 18th minute, Paul Robinson just managed to divert a shot from Brian McBride from a few meters with his fingertips. In the 38th minute, P. Robinson saved his team when Mido attempted a header just barely missed the goal. A few minutes later, the Egyptian again posed a danger to the opposing goal, but his shot was slightly above the goal. After the break, "Fulham" once again pressed their opponents' goal, but P. Robinson reliably handled it, thwarting the danger after two shots from B. McBride, and later also repelling Papa Bouba Diop's attempt. After repelling the opponents' attacks, "Tottenham" scored their second goal. Again after a pass from Mido and a sprint, Robbie Keane scored. Soon afterward, P. Robinson was back in action, saving a header from Maritzo Volz. In the 77th minute, the third goal, scored by "Fulham", was scored from a distance of 12 meters by the Bulgarian Dimitar Berbatov. In the last minutes, the score was further increased by Dimitar Berbatov, and "Fulham" Italian Vincenzo Montella was sent off the field. All quarter-finalists will be determined after the matches between "Arsenal" - "Blackburn", "Middlesbrough" - "W.B.A", and "Man Utd" - "Reading".
