2015 FA Cup Magic Claims Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham in 4th Round Debacle
By Ty Duffy
The bulk of England’s FA Cup 4th round was played this morning. It was not a banner round for the patricians of the Barclay’s Premier League.
League leaders Chelsea blew a 2-0 lead to League One side Bradford City at home to lose 4-2. There were enough first-team players in that side to make it embarrassing.
Billion-plus dollar Manchester City lost 2-0 to Championship resident Middlesbrough at home, fielding more or less a first team.
Third place Southampton went down 3-2 to Crystal Palace.
The Leicester City Foxes, bottom in the EPL with just four wins from 22 matches, dispatched Tottenham 2-1 at White Hart Lane.
Yesterday, Manchester United drew 0-0 with League Two club Cambridge United. Liverpool (vs. Bolton) and Arsenal (vs. Brighton) could still add to the malaise.
