High-flying Everton were knocked out of the FA Cup by third division Oldham Athletic when they lost 1-0 at home in the third round, becoming one of four Premiership sides to go out to lower league opposition.

Birmingham City, Blackburn Rovers and Bolton Wanderers were the other upset victims, while Havant & Waterlooville carried the minor league flag into Monday's fourth-round draw after they snatched a late 1-1 draw at third division leaders Swansea City.

Everton are one of the form teams in the Premier League, are going well in the League Cup and UEFA Cup and the only two defeats in their last 17 games came at the hands of Manchester United and Arsenal.

However, in a game delayed 30 minutes by a fire in a local chip shop, Oldham added their name to that illustrious list thanks to Gary McDonald's 25-metre strike at the end of the first half, with Everton hitting the post in the last minute.

Coventry, 17th in the Championship (second division) and in severe financial trouble, won 4-1 at Blackburn with two goals by Michael Mifsud and one each from Elliott Ward and Dele Adebola.

Third division Huddersfield were also celebrating after a 2-1 home win over Birmingham, while Bolton, having rested most of their leading players, lost 1-0 at home to Sheffield United.

An 87th-minute equaliser by Rocky Baptiste earned Havant & Waterlooville, in the third round for the first time, their replay against a Swansea side who had scored 20 goals in their previous six games.

Southern League midland division Chasetown, one of the lowest-ranked teams ever to reach the third round, led second division Cardiff City for much of the first half before losing 3-1 while Conference side Cambridge United also led at Wolverhampton Wanderers but lost 2-1 after an 88th-minute goal.

Holders Chelsea beat Queens Park Rangers 1-0 with an own goal by QPR goalkeeper Lee Camp, while Tottenham Hotspur drew 2-2 with Reading and West Ham United were goalless against Manchester City in two all-Premier League ties.
