\nLONDON:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Southampton booked an FA Cup fifth round tie against Liverpool with a 3-0 win over Watford on Tuesday, while Coventry’s 4-1 victory against Sheffield Wednesday secured a date with history makers Maidstone.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saints forward Sekou Mara struck twice in the fourth round replay at St Mary’s to secure the prized trip to Premier League<\/a> leaders Liverpool<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Championship high-fliers, unbeaten in their last 24 games in all competitions, took the lead when Che Adams teed up Mara in the 52nd minute.<\/p>\n

Mara doubled his tally six minutes later as the French youngster struck for the fifth time in his last nine appearances.<\/p>\n

Adams completed the comfortable dismissal of second-tier Watford with a clinical finish 14 minutes from full-time.<\/p>\n

Coventry will host National League South side Maidstone after Callum O’Hare’s double saw off Wednesday in another all-Championship replay.<\/p>\n

It was the third meeting between Coventry and Wednesday in just 17 days.<\/p>\n

The first of those encounters was marred by racist abuse directed at Coventry midfielder Kasey Palmer by a Wednesday fan.<\/p>\n

Palmer opened the scoring in the third minute before Mark Robins’ men were pegged back by Bailey Cadamarteri’s equaliser.<\/p>\n

Three goals in eight second-half minutes, including two from O’Hare and one from Haji Wright, ensured Coventry will host the lowest-ranked side left in the competition.<\/p>\n

Maidstone became the first club from outside the top five tiers of English football to reach the FA Cup fifth round since Blyth Spartans in 1978 when they beat Ipswich 2-1 at Portman Road in one of the great recent cup upsets.<\/p>\n

Leeds will travel to Aston Villa or Chelsea in the last 16 thanks to a 4-1 win at Championship rivals Plymouth.<\/p>\n

Wilfried Gnonto’s 66th-minute strike put Leeds ahead at rain-lashed Home Park, but the advantage lasted just 12 minutes before Brendan Galloway equalised.<\/p>\n

In extra-time, Crysencio Summerville curled home to put Leeds back in front, then set up Georginio Rutter to net the visitors’ third goal in the 111th minute.<\/p>\n

Ryan Hardie’s own-goal in the 117th minute made it a happy journey back to Yorkshire for the Leeds fans who made the round trip of over 600 miles.<\/p>\n

Leeds will discover their next opponents on Wednesday when Chelsea face Unai Emery’s men at Villa Park.<\/p>\n

Nottingham Forest host second tier Bristol City in the other replay on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The fifth round ties will be held on February 26, 27 and 28.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
