Defending champion Tottenham advanced to the quarterfinals with a 4-2 victory over Liverpool.

Didier Drogba put Chelsea ahead with his first goal of the season in the 27th minute, but Burnley striker Ade Akinbiyi equalized in the 70th to send the fourth-round fixture into extra time. Burneley prevailed 5-4 on penalty kicks with goalkeeper Brian Jensen saving from Wayne Bridge and John Mikel Obi.

Tottenham strikers Roman Pavlyuchenko and Fraizer Campbell each scored twice in the space of 15 minutes either side of the break to continue Harry Redknapp's unbeaten six-match run since being tasked.
