| LONDON -- On-loan forward Landon Donovan led Everton to its first ever FA Cup win over Fulham and a place in the fifth round on Friday, setting up both goals in his teams 2-1 win at Goodison. Jaroslav Halak Jersey . Fulham had progressed in the FA Cup on all four previous occasions it had been drawn against Everton, and led again against the Toffees through Danny Murphys 14th-minute penalty. But Donovan, in the sixth game of his second loan spell from Major League Soccers Los Angeles Galaxy, set up a 27th-minute equalizer for Denis Stracqualursi and then provided the assist for Marouane Fellainis 73rd-minute winner. "Landons been great since hes been here," Everton assistant manager Steve Round said. "Hes a real diamond of a guy, hes a very intelligent footballer and the lads all like him. Youve seen the quality of his end product, whether it be from crosses or set plays. "Hes a top player." Rafael van der Vaart scored a 42nd-minute goal for Tottenham in a 1-0 win at League Championship side Watford in Fridays other fourth-round match. But Donovan provided arguably the days standout performance, helping his side to victory over a Fulham side containing his United States teammate, Clint Dempsey. Teammates on the last two U.S. World Cup teams, Donovan and Dempsey had not faced each other since May 2006, when Dempseys New England Revolution beat the Galaxy 4-0. This was only the seventh time they had played against each other overall. After Murphy scored a penalty awarded for a handball by Netherlands defender John Heitinga, Donovan crossed for Stracqualursi to head firmly past Fulham goalkeeper David Stockdale. Dempsey, who has scored two hat tricks in his last three games for Fulham, headed over the bar at the start of the second half following a cross by Bryan Ruiz before Donovan went close with a shot across goal from distance. Donovan set up the decisive goal with a deep cross to the far post, from where Fellaini guided a header back across Stockdale and into the top corner. Fulham beat Everton on its way to the 1975 FA Cup final -- one of only two finals the west London club has ever reached -- and edged out the Toffees in a replay in the teams most recent tournament meeting in 2004. Tottenham won its last two FA Cup meetings with Watford by a combined score of 9-3. Spurs manager Harry Redknapp, on the touchline despite an ongoing court case involving allegations he evaded taxes, said his team was fortunate to advance this time despite the quality of Van der Vaarts 30-meter (yard) strike. "They say its better to be lucky than good," Redknapp said. "Tonight we were lucky; we werent good. Were normally good. Tonight was not the Tottenham team I see every week. "We didnt play well, we were poor." Having disposed of one traditional rival with a third-round win at Manchester City, Manchester United continues its efforts to add to its record 11 FA Cup titles with a trip to Liverpool in the pick of Saturdays 12 fourth-round matches. Chelsea is at west London rival Queens Park Rangers in another all-Premier League meeting, while injury-hit Arsenal hosts Aston Villa in one of two games Sunday. Jazz John Stockton Jersey .

The United States and the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (DPRK) are near an agreement to save a crumbling nuclear deal, news reports said on Friday, while the Republic of Koreas (ROK) foreign minister said details of a compromise may soon be announced. Americas ABC news quoted senior US officials as saying the DPRK may be preparing for another nuclear test after it was seen moving cables and tunnelling at the site of its only previous test in October 2006. Chosun Ilbo, a daily newspaper in the ROK on Friday quoted government sources as saying the DPRK and the United States were near an agreement on verifying Pyongyangs account of its nuclear program that would prompt Washington to remove it from a list of countries that sponsor terrorism. The Washington Post reported on Thursday the Bush team looked set to provisionally remove Pyongyang from the State Departments terrorism list. The ROKs foreign minister said Washington will soon make a decision that will hopefully lead to removing the DPRK from the State Department terrorism blacklist. If we stall at this point, it will be difficult to jump-start the process under the new US administration, Yu Myung-hwan said. Yu indicated that Washington may be about to accept a compromise by focusing initial verification on Pyongyangs known nuclear facilities and leave to a later stage undeclared installations and a suspected uranium enrichment program. The disarmament deal appeared to be in peril after Pyongyang, angry at not beingg removed from the list, vowed last month to rebuild its Yongbyon nuclear plant. Authentic Jahvid Best Jersey. Once removed from the list, the DPRK would see an end to many sanctions. Japan to extend sanction Japan has voiced its reservations about removing the Pyongyang from the list, feeling that it may not be an appropriate move to make without first resolving a long-simmering feud over its nationals kidnapped decades ago by the DPRK agents. We expect the United States to tell us before making a final decision and if we think that it is enough, or enough to some extent, to resolve the nuclear issue, then I think it would be fine, Foreign Minister Hirofumi Nakasone told a news conference. He said he did not know if the United States would go ahead with delisting, but that he would not see it as a problem if it was deemed as yielding results. Tokyo also said it would extend its sanctions on the DPRK, including a ban on imports, for another six months after they expire on Monday, because of a lack of progress on both the issues of denuclearization and abductees. Missile test US nuclear envoy Christopher Hill, who went to Pyongyang last week to save the disarmament-for-aid deal the DPRK struck with China, Japan, Russia, the ROK and the United States, has mostly been silent about his discussions. The DPRK has reportedly deployed more than 10 short-range missiles on its west coast for a possible launch. On Tuesday, the DPRK fired two short-range missiles into the Yellow Sea, media reports said. Agencies ' ' ' |
