London: Newcastle became the biggest casualty of the third round of the FA Cup, suffering a humiliating 1-5 loss at home in a replay against Championship side Birmingham. 

Gary McSheffrey put the away side ahead after five minutes, and an own-goal from Nolberto Solano doubled their lead on the stroke of half-time Wednesday.

James Milner pulled one back in the 11th minute into the second half, but Steven Taylor was sent off a minute later. After that, Newcastle capitulated.

Bruno N'Gotty restored the two-goal margin after 59 minutes, and further goals from Sebastian Larsson and Campbell completed the rout.

Italian forward Vincenzo Montella struck twice as Fulham came from 1-3 down to beat Leicester 4-3 with a last-minute Wayne Routledge goal, while Tottenham easily disposed of Cardiff 4-0 in the night's other replay.
 

Goals from Aaron Lennon, Robbie Keane and Steed Malbranque had them up 3-0 by half-time, and Jermain Defoe added a late fourth.
