As you can see above there were goals for Robert Earnshaw and Junichi Inamoto as WBA beat Fulham after extra time. Tony Warner played for Fulham. Graham Kavanagh was on the pitch as Wigan beat Watford. The shock of the night came at Selhurst Park where Premiership Liverpool were knocked out by Crystal Palace.

Look at the crowds of the bottow two fixtures. Sunderland pulled in over 47,000 people while Wigan just 4,500. Crowd figures are mind boggling just now.
