LONDON -- Premier League struggler Queens Park Rangers was rescued from potential embarrassment in a third-round replay in the FA Cup on Tuesday thanks a late winner against third-tier MK Dons. Heath Miller Steelers Jersey . Wales defender Danny Gabbidons 73rd-minute goal gave QPR a 1-0 win at Loftus Road, earning the team a fourth-round home match against west London rival Chelsea. QPR required a last-minute equalizer by Heidar Helguson to earn a replay against MK Dons and was again troubled by a team 30 places lower in English footballs pyramid, with the visitors overrunning Mark Hughes team at times and wasting some golden chances before Gabbidon struck. "It was a tough game," said Gabbidon, whose goal ended QPRs 10-match run without a win. "We needed that little bit of luck." Bolton, which also came from behind to earn a replay against lower-league opposition, beat fourth-tier Macclesfield 2-0 to reach the competitions last 32. First-half goals by striker Kevin Davies and Bulgaria winger Martin Petrov set up an all-Premier League match against Swansea on Jan. 28. Second-tier League Championship teams Leicester and Millwall also progressed from replays on Tuesday. QPR, which is third from bottom in the Premier League, hadnt reached the fourth round since 2001 and it looked like that poor record would remain intact midway through the second half, with MK Dons pouring forward and creating chance after chance. Striker Jabo Ibehre glanced just wide with the goal at his mercy in the 59th minute with the best of the opportunities, and Gabbidon put the hosts ahead against the run of play 14 minutes later from Shaun Wright-Phillips corner. "There was a lack of sharpness in our play," said QPR manager Mark Hughes, whose team lost to Newcastle 1-0 on Sunday in his first match in charge since taking over from the fired Neil Warnock last week. "We looked a bit leggy but we stuck at it and got our noses in front." It will be the first meeting between QPR and Chelsea since their infamous match on Oct. 23. when QPRs 1-0 victory was overshadowed by allegations of racist abuse made against Chelsea captain John Terry. Terry denies the allegations of directing a racial slur toward QPR defender Anton Ferdinand, but has been charged by prosecutors and will appear in court on Feb. 1 -- four days after the FA Cup match. Leicester thrashed Nottingham Forest 4-0 thanks to a hat trick by former Everton striker Jermaine Beckford to set up a match against fourth-tier team Swindon, which caused the biggest upset of the third round by beating Premier League side Wigan 2-1. Millwall will host fellow League Championship side Southampton in the fourth round after winning its replay against Dagenham & Redbridge 5-0, with striker Darius Henderson also scoring a hat trick. Jason Worilds Black Friday Jersey . Anthony Calvillo, through 20 CFL seasons, was frequently invincible and largely stoic in the heat of competition. But underneath the professional exterior he was, and is, compellingly human. Terry Bradshaw Black Friday Jersey . It all paid off Friday night, when the Toronto right-hander earned his first victory since 2008 with an effective and emotional effort at Baltimore. McGowan allowed five hits over 6 1-3 innings, and the Blue Jays used two unearned runs to beat Chris Tillman and the Orioles 2-0.In what is a sure sign that Canadian basketball is on the upswing, the Toronto Raptors worked out two Canadians on Wednesday ahead of this months NBA draft. Torontos Melvin Ejim and Quebec Citys Khem Birch went through their paces in front of the Raptors scouting staff. Birch, who played at UNLV and declared for the draft after his junior season, points to Vince Carter as one player who caught his eye growing up. "Vince is probably one of the best Raptors of all time. He had a big impact on all of us," said Birch. "Even though he wasnt Canadian, you thought he was Canadian because he played here and everyone embraced him." Birch is projected to be drafted late in the second round but that hasnt detterred him from making his best impression in workouts. Cortez Allen Steelers Jersey. "I dont look into mock drafts," added Birch, who has already worked out for the Los Angeles Clippers, Miami Heat and Philadelphia 76ers. "Those guys dont really know what goes on in a GMs mind. It only takes one team to like you and if you feel youre ready, youre ready." As for what he could bring to a potential NBA lineup, the 69 forward knows his strength is under his own basket, despite scoring a Big 12-record 48 points in a game this season. "I bring a defensive energy," he said. "Thats the type of player I am and thats why I left (school). I proved myself in college, I was defensive player twice." ' ' '
