Paper Thin ‘Reds’ Lose, Norwich Win

Update: 2012-11-02 01:42 GMT
Swansea’s Chico Flores’ goal from a corner was just reward for a first-half points victory on the visitors’ part, against Liverpool while Luis Suarez’s swift reply to Nathan Dyer’s second-period tap-in was not enough for the Reds as Jonathan De Guzman confirmed the upset in injury time on a similar break.

Meanwhile, Gareth Bale had given Tottenham the lead after the break with a 20-yard shot that found the bottom corner and beat the reach of the otherwise excellent Mark Bunn.

But Norwich showed great spirit to secure a place in the quarter-final as Tettey fired home the equaliser before Grant Holt, another of Hughton’s introductions, forced a save that left Jackson with a simple finish.

Andre Villas-Boas’ team had a chance to send the game to extra time when Kyle Walker was fouled by Marc Tierney in the box but Clint Dempsey’s penalty was saved by Bunn.
