take it down to the wire as a Craig Fagan goal and spirited second half

Stoke
City - (H) Lost 1-2 |
|
After

more promising stuff as high rolling Liverpool come to town and are

Arsenal
- (A) Lost 1-2 |

After
a fabulous flowing first half, during which the Tigers took an unlikely
lead, Arsenal won this Sixth Round cup tie thanks to a decidedly dubious
