English FA Cup Roundup, Feb. 2
Notts County caused a major upset at the DW Stadium as two late
goals saw them defeat Wigan 2-0 and book a place in the FA Cup
fifth round.
Having survived a series of Wigan attempts on goal, League
Two County took a shock lead with 15 minutes to go as Stephen Hunt
headed home Ben Davies' corner.
Gary Caldwell then scored an own goal three minutes later to
leave the Barclays Premier League side stunned and the Magpies
looking forward to a trip to Fulham in a week on Sunday.
Makeshift striker Danny Butterfield grabbed a stunning
six-minute hat-trick to dump Wolves out of the FA Cup and hand
Crystal Palace a huge financial boost.
The Eagles, in administration with debts of more than
£30million, set up a lucrative fifth-round visit from Aston
Villa courtesy of Butterfield's treble in a 3-1 victory.
The popular right-back Neil Warnock has thrust into attack in
his mix-and-match line-up had scored just one goal in the last six
seasons.
But he was the unlikeliest of heroes as Warnock's side
continue to defy the odds.
