Reuters: Goals from Curtis Davies and Robert Koren earned Hull City a place in the FA Cup quarter-finals with a 2-1 replay win at home to Brighton and Hove Albion on Monday. Charlton Athletic lifted some more of their gloom as the relegation-threatened second-tier side won 2-1 at fellow Championship outfit Sheffield Wednesday to end hopes of a Sheffield derby in the last eight. Davies scored Hull’s opening goal with a looping header from Koren’s corner in the 14th minute as the Premier League team dictated play. Koren then added a second in the 36th minute when his free kick - via a deflection from Keith Andrews - beat Peter Brezovan in the visiting goal. Second tier Brighton managed to halve the deficit in the 68th minute through top scorer Leonardo Ulloa, who also scored in the 1-1 draw in the initial tie last Monday, but they struggled to carve out any more meaningful opportunities. Hull host boss Steve Bruce’s former side Sunderland in the quarter-finals while Charlton face a trip to third tier Sheffield United with the ties to be played March 8-9. Arsenal host Everton and Manchester City welcome holders Wigan Athletic in a repeat of last season’s final in the other matches.
