QPR 0-1 Chelsea: Chelsea progress via a dubious penalty decision. Danny Sturridge went over far too easily but earned the spot-kick which Juan Mata converted just after the half-hour mark.

The game looked to be heading for a replay until poor defending allowed substitute Dirk Kuyt one-on-one with De Gea, the Dutchman blasted the ball home with three minutes left.
