FA Cup win for holders Pompey

England striker Peter Crouch scored the first goal of the match at Ashton Gate, the Robins' home ground.

And Niko Kranjcar added the second with two minutes left, making the final score 2-0 to Pompey.

Meanwhile, Premier League bottom club, West Brom, also made it through to the fourth round, beating Peterborough 2-0.

Jay Simpson opened the scoring in the 18th minute, with Paul Robinson later doubling West Brom's lead.

Afterwards boss Tony Mowbray said: "Maybe Jay Simpson's quality and ability to score goals like he did tonight will help us in the Premier League.

"We saw at The Hawthorns how well Peterborough can play but I don't think they reached those heights tonight," he added.
