FA Cup 2016: 5th-Round Results, Scores from Sunday's Fixtures

Tottenham Hotspur were surprisingly knocked out of the FA Cup by London rivals Crystal Palace after a 1-0 defeat at White Hart Lane on Sunday.

Martin Kelly grabbed the game's only goal, and the loss on home soil extinguished Spurs' hopes of an unlikely treble.

However, it was a good day for two of the Premier League's other London clubs, as both Chelsea and West Ham United enjoyed big wins.

The Blues dominated a young Manchester City squad at Stamford Bridge, while the Hammers thrashed Blackburn Rovers 5-1 at Ewood Park.

Here are the final scores from Sunday's cup matches:

Home	Score	Away
Blackburn Rovers	1-5	West Ham United
Tottenham Hotspur	0-1	Crystal Palace
Chelsea	5-1	Manchester City

Recap

Kelly stunned the Spurs when he slotted Palace into a first-half lead. The defender was teed up after good work from the flank by Wilfried Zaha.

As OptaJoe noted, it's been a while since Kelly found the net:

He also thwarted Spurs at the other end when he made a goal-line block in the second half to keep Palace in front. Goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey then denied Christian Eriksen as Spurs ramped up their pressure.

Connor Wickham wasted a great chance to double the lead for Palace before the final 10 minutes. He also had a goal ruled out for offside as Spurs ran out of steam late on.

Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino will look for a quick response when his second-placed side resume their league campaign next week. He will naturally be wary about letting this drab defeat damage momentum in the title race.

In the day's final game, City paid the price for manager Manuel Pellegrini's weak team selection. With his squad still in contention for the Capital One Cup, UEFA Champions League and Premier League, Pellegrini fielded a starting XI featuring many youth players, including precocious midfield maestro Manuel Garcia, per Squawka:

By contrast, Chelsea gaffer Guus Hiddink picked his strongest possible team—a selection reflected in some early dominance from the Blues on home soil. In particular, Spaniards Cesc Fabregas and Pedro combined brilliantly to torment the refreshed City defence.

The young Citizens stayed stubborn early on. It took a superb combination between Fabregas and Eden Hazard to finally open up the City back four. Hazard latched on to a superbly lofted pass from Fabregas before lifting it across for Costa to head home. It was another decisive contribution from the striker who is back to his best in this calendar year, as noted by WhoScored.com:

Yet the score didn't deter City’s youngsters. Instead, they made an instant response when Kelechi Iheanacho rolled the ball for David Faupala to tap in.

But Chelsea’s experience showed after the break. The Blues went back in front thanks to Willian, before centre-back Gary Cahill added a third. The sudden goal rush continued the improvement in attacking output since Hiddink took over. Squawka detailed the improvement:

Hazard then smashed home a free-kick as City’s youths lost their resolve. There was even time for 20-year-old striker Bertrand Traore to grab a fifth goal for Chelsea.

Earlier, West Ham came from behind to beat Rovers away from home. Goals from Victor Moses and Dimitri Payet cancelled out Ben Marshall's opener in the first half.

For Marshall, his fine low strike merely continued his excellent form in the cup, according to OptaJoe:

The same source detailed how Payet remains the Hammers' most potent attacking threat this season:

Things got worse for Rovers in the second half when Chris Taylor was sent off after tripping Moses as West Ham attempted to break. It didn't take long for the Hammers to take advantage, with Emmanuel Emenike tapping in after some excellent work from the useful Cheikhou Kouyate.

That goal effectively ended the tie. Yet there was still time for Emenike to score again despite Kouyate seeing red for a professional foul. Payet then got his second after a brilliant solo effort to officially book the Hammers' place in the last eight.

With Payet's flair and Emenike's power, West Ham boast attacking prowess every other team left in the competition should fear. The same is true for Hiddink's Chelsea, a team looking ominously good whenever they take the pitch in this tournament.

Meanwhile, Spurs will rue passing up an excellent chance of lifting a trophy—even if Pochettino may welcome fewer games to aid the club's bid for the league title.
