LONDON -- A superb free kick from Oscar gave Chelsea a 1-0 win over Stoke in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Sunday while Fulham needed an equalizer 15 minutes
from time to draw 1-1 with third-tier strugglers Sheffield United, who were down
to 10 men.

. The Brazil midfielder scored in the 27th minute
at Stamford Bridge with a curling 20-meter shot that ended in the top corner as
Stoke goalkeeper Asmir Begovic dived in vain. Dangerous on the break and
dominant in midfield, Chelsea almost doubled its lead soon after when Oscar hit
the post. Andre Schurrle also hit the woodwork after the interval with a shot
from a tight angle as Chelsea kept creating the better chances. Samuel Etoo
missed the target from close range after Ramires failed to convert Eden Hazards
precise cross, but the home side had done just enough by the final whistle. Hugo
Rodallega scored Fulhams equalizer with a low shot that spared his side more
misery this season. The London club is just one point above the relegation zone
in the Premier League standings. Chris Porter put the hosts ahead in the 31st
minute as he diverted a shot past David Stockdale. But the League One club had
Michael Doyle sent off for a kick at Muamer Tankovic early in the second half
and could not hold on to its lead. Sheffield United manager Nigel Clough praised
his players for their grit after the 1-1 draw but said the referees decision to
send off his player was a bit harsh. "There was some sort of contact, whether it
was enough to warrant a red card Im not sure," he said. Fulham manager Rene
Meulensteen, whose priority is to keep his team in the Premier League next
season, made 11 changes for the tie against a side that knocked out Aston Villa
in the previous round but is facing a tough relegation battle in its division.
On a waterlogged pitch, Sheffield United looked like it could hold on even after
Doyles sending off, and even threatened to extend its lead when Ryan Flynn led a
swift counterattack down the right only to see his low shot stopped by
Stockdale. Both sides were denied penalties as Rodallega and Flynn appeared to
be fouled in the area. Meulensteen admitted his side lacked the quality to
prevail but was happy with his youngsters performance. "They gave it their all
and got their noses in front," Meulensteen said. "If theres any positives to
take from the game theres two things. Obviously were still in it, thats one, but
the young boys we brought in did excellent."

charged with a run and five hits, and Alex Torres suffered the loss in relief.
