Soccer – FA Cup Review:A last-minute Aleksandar Kolarov strike finally killed off Sven-Goran Eriksson's Leicester as Manchester City booked an FA Cup fourth round trip to Notts County with a 4-2 victory, while Wolves were comfortable winners over Doncaster.

Leading 3-1 thanks to two goals in 77 first-half seconds from Patrick Vieira and Adam Johnson, City looked to be coasting home.

But Lloyd Dyer provided a few nervous moments when he halved the deficit eight minutes from time, only for Kolarov to launch a 25-yard shot to snuff out Leicester's hopes.

Wolves cruised into the fourth round by brushing aside Doncaster's relatively feeble challenge with a 5-0 victory.

Steven Fletcher set Wolves on their way in the fifth minute with his sixth goal of the season, and although Rovers remained in the hunt up until the hour mark, they fell apart from that point.

In front of a sparse 10,031 Molineux crowd, those in attendance were at least warmed on a chilly night with goals from Geoffrey Mujangi Bia, Kevin Doyle, Matt Jarvis and David Jones.

The replay between Cardiff and Stoke was decided in extra time when Stoke's Jonathan Walters scored twice to deny Cardiff after the game finished 0-0 after 90 minutes.
