FA Cup: Liverpool 2-1 Man Utd | QPR 0-1 Chelsea
Liverpool 2-1 Manchester United
Dirk Kuyt hit the late winner as Liverpool gained revenge for their FA Cup exit at the hands of Manchester United a year ago.
The tie seemed destined for a replay at Old Trafford as Ji-Sung Park's powerful shot put United level after Daniel Agger had headed Liverpool into the lead - but there was a late twist to a surprisingly flat encounter.
Liverpool substitute Kuyt escaped the attentions of Patrice Evra with two minutes left to latch on to Andy Carroll's flick and fire past United goalkeeper David de Gea in front of an ecstatic Kop.
Luis Suarez celebrated wildly as the winner went in almost as in an event of justice towards United and particularly Patrice Evra, who judged the ball wrong to allow Kuyt the chance. There is no better feeling that beating your rivals but this was extra-sweet for Suarez. It was clear that Liverpool fans felt the same as they jeered every touch the French full-back took.
Liverpool now march into the 5th round whilst Man Utd can now focus on their Premier League title challenge, though they do have their Europa League adventure to look forward next month.

Queens Park Rangers 0-1 Chelsea
A penalty from Juan Mata was enough to put Chelsea in the draw for the fifth round of the FA Cup in a tie that far from lived up to its billing.
The FA confirmed before the game that it cancelled the handshake before the match between QPR and Chelsea “to defuse further tensions”. There was talk that QPR defender Anton Ferdinand would refuse to shake Chelsea captain John Terry’s hand after the latter was charged with racially abusing Ferdinand in their league match in October.
After a forgettable first half, Mata delivered the telling goal from the spot on the 62nd minute to put Chelsea's name in the hat for the fifth round draw.
The winning goal was shrouded in controversy though as referee Mike Dean deemed Clint Hill's push on Daniel Sturridge in the box enough to warrant a penalty, much to the disbelief of the home fans.
QPR mustered one genuine chance in the dying seconds of the game, Young's low drive across goal was pushed to safety by Cech to maintain his clean sheet and ensure Chelsea's smooth progression.
