LONDON (AP) — Aston Villa advanced to the FA Cup quarterfinals with a 2-1 victory over fellow Premier League struggler Leicester on Sunday.
Leandro Bacuna broke the deadlock in the 68th minute of a drab game, and Scott Sinclair doubled Villa's lead in the 89th minute, with goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer helping the ball into the net. Andrej Kramaric headed one back for Leicester a minute later, but Vila held on with new manager Tim Sherwood watching from the stands.
There are two more fifth round games on Sunday, with third-tier Bradford hosting Sunderland and second-tier Middlesbrough at holder Arsenal.
