  • John Arne Riise turned a cross into his own net and Liverpool were held 1-1 by League One Luton in the FA Cup on Sunday.

    Three minutes after Peter Crouch had given the Reds a 74th-minute lead at Kenilworth Road, the Hatters earned a lucrative replay at Anfield when Riise accidentally deflected a cross past his own goalkeeper.

    In a game watched by England manager Fabio Capello, Crouch scored on a breakaway, sliding the ball into an empty net after Luton goalkeeper Dean Brill had blocked a shot from Andriy Voronin.

    Luton manager Kevin Blackwell saluted his team for hitting back after conceding a goal.

    Eduardo da Silva scored one goal and set up the other, and Arsenal won 2-0 at Burnley.

    Eduardo gave the Gunners a ninth-minute lead at Turf Moor against the League Championship club. The Croatian international then set up Nicklas Bendtner to score the second goal in the 75th minute.

    Newcastle were held 0-0 at Stoke City and had some scares at the Britannia Stadium. Derby, last in the Premier League, hit back from two goals down at home to Championship club Sheffield Wednesday for a 2-2 draw, and Fulham twice trailed at home to League One Bristol Rovers only to also salvage a 2-2 draw and a replay.
