Tottenham were eliminated as Stoke City beat them 7-6 on penalties after the clash ended goalless in normal time. Joining Spurs out of the competition were Alex McLeish’s Aston Villa, who slumped to a 2-0 loss at home to Bolton.

Blackburn won for the second time in three days as they edged out Leyton Orient 3-2. Newcastle United were taken the distance by Nottingham Forest before a late Fabricio Coloccini goal gave the Magpies a 4-3 extra time victory.
