FA Cup round-up: Darius Vassell secured Manchester City's passage into the fourth round of the FA Cup and a home match with Southampton as the home side saw off Sheffield Sheffield Wednesday with a 2-1 win.

The striker scored the winner against Sheffield Wednesday in this replay after Lee Bullen had equalised for the visitors. Despite interests from Everton Joey Barton pulled the strings for City, who opened the scoring through Stephen Ireland.

Middlesbrough survived a stunning Hull fightback to win 4-3 after yet another seven-goal thriller at the Riverside Stadium.

The Teessiders looked to be home and dry when goals from debutant Seb Hines, Mark Viduka and Aiyegbeni Yakubu gave them a 3-0 lead after 57 minutes.

But Andy Dawson's header and a Jon Parkin penalty either side of Viduka's second gave the visitors a lifeline, and Dawson's brilliant 69th-minute free-kick - the sixth goal in 21 minutes - ensured a tense finish.

Wolves midfielder Darren Potter scored his first senior goal in some style to pave the way for a 2-0 replay victory over Oldham that sets up an Black Country derby against West Brom in the fourth round.

The Championship side, 10 places above the Latics in the Football League, were on the back foot for the opening period and were indebted to Matt Murray after the goalkeeper pulled off a decent stop from Stefan Stam.

Just after Murray pulled off a similar low save from Will Haining at the start of the second half, Potter, on a season-long loan deal from Liverpool that Wolves want to make permanent, hit a thunderous effort from 25 yards that sailed past Les Pogliacomi.

Striker Craig Davies then grabbed his second of the campaign with a header from Rohan Ricketts' cross to ease Mick McCarthy's men through.

Elsewhere, goals from Barry Hayles and David Norris booked Coca Plymouth's berth in the next round with a 2-1 win over Peterborough while Ipswich overcame Chester 1-0, Southend proved too strong for Barnsley and Bristol City won 2-0 at Coventry.
