Chelsea 1-0 Stoke City

Oscar's sublime free-kick was enough to end Stoke's interest in this season's FA Cup and earn Chelsea a fifth round trip to Manchester City. The Blues, winners of the trophy four times in the last seven seasons, wasted a bundle of chances and hit the post twice in a one-sided cup tie. But they only had Oscar's breathtaking 25-yard strike to show for their dominance and were forced to endure a nervy final few moments before securing the victory. The Potters barely threatened t Stephen Ireland wasted a great chance before the break, smashing a shot into the side netting from close range. Stoke's hopes of a cup shock had seemed slim and so it proved.
