We start with Football – and Chelsea rescued a point at White Hart Lane when they drew 1-all with Tottenham Hot Spurs.
Didier Drgoba equalised for the Blues after Roman Pavlyuchenko opened the scoring for the home-side.

Drogba however had a chance to grab all 3-points for Chelsea but he missed a stoppage-time penalty and that stretched Carlo Ancelotti’s side’s winless streak to five matches.

In earlier ties – 10-man Bolton scored a 2-1 win over Blackburn Rovers; and Wolves managed a 1-0 win over Birmingham City.

Tevez stressed he has "no personal issue" with manager Roberto Mancini and thanked owner Sheikh Mansour for his "understanding and support".

Yet the Argentine striker made it clear he only sees his future as being anywhere but at Manchester City.
